Right before calling Iran’s response to the White House’s latest peace proposal “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE,” President Donald Trump lashed out at his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, for settling the tab for a Carter-era arms deal with the nation that fell through decades ago. Taking to Truth Social Sunday afternoon, the commander in chief fumed that “Iran has been playing games with the United States, and the rest of the World” since the fall of American-aligned Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in 1979. “DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!” he described Iran’s strategy with the U.S., while also claiming the nation will be “laughing no longer” if his administration has the final word. In his post, the president said Iran “finally hit ‘pay dirt’” with Obama, who negotiated the now-defunct Iran Nuclear Deal alongside China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the European Union in 2015. “He was not only good to them, he was great, actually going to their side, jettisoning Israel, and all other Allies, and giving Iran a major and very powerful new lease on life,” Trump wrote. The president falsely claimed the Obama administration forked over billions of dollars “in green cash” to Tehran on a “silver platter” back in 2016, referring to a massive transfer of funds which was part settlement for a $400 million arms deal halted by the Iranian Revolution in the late 1970s and partially the release of Iranian-owned funds which were frozen due to international sanctions. President Trump called the amounts so substantial “Iranian Thugs had no idea what to do with it” when it was offloaded from planes in “suitcases and satchels.” Continuing to rail against Obama, he said Iran had “finally found the greatest SUCKER of them all, in the form of a weak and stupid American President.” “He was a disaster as our ‘Leader,’ but not as bad as Sleepy Joe Biden!” Trump went on to add. In his post, the president accused Iranian leaders of stringing the U.S. along for decades, “keeping us waiting, killing our people with their roadside bombs, destroying protests,” as well as “wiping out 42,000 innocent, unarmed protestors, and laughing at our now GREAT AGAIN Country.” “They will be laughing no longer!” Trump concluded.
