WorldNetDaily kept up its Trump Regime Media treatment of the war in Iran:
- Deal with Iran ‘largely negotiated,’ but still awaiting finalization
- Iranian missile fired at Americans intercepted, but wreckage still leaves injuries
- ‘Negatively chirping’: Trump blasts Dems and ‘seemingly unpatriotic Republicans’ for making it ‘MUCH tougher’ to negotiate with Iran
- ‘Shot down’: Trump confirms Iran attacked American helicopter, U.S. unleashes ‘proportional response’
- ‘Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!’ Trump says Iran has ‘taken too long to negotiate, now they will have to pay the price!’
- Trump erupts over Iranian media’s ‘leak’ of terms of deal
WND was particularly annoyed that former President Obama had things to say about Trump’s alleged deal. Joe Kovacs wrote in a June 14 article:
Shortly before President Donald Trump announced a peace deal with Iran had been completed precluding the Islamic Republic from possessing or procuring a nuclear weapon, former President Barack Obama slammed Trump’s efforts.
The accompanying reader for this question was: “Does Barack Obama actually WANT Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon?”
ABC’s Robin Roberts of “Good Morning America” asked Obama Saturday in an interview to fully air on Wednesday: “You spent a lot of time wrestling with a nuclear Iran. How do you think things are being handled right now?”
Obama responded: “It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place and had worked for a long stretch of time before we, the United States, pulled out.”
“I’m hopeful that the bombing stops and ordinary people are no longer suffering as a consequence of the war,” he continued.
[…]In a follow-up post, Trump took a shot at Obama and other commanders in chief, saying: “This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region. Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me.
“The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace. With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!”
[…]Trump also pounded Obama by name on Saturday, indicating: “Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!”
The same day, Kovacs also wrote:
Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said President Donald Trump has “every intent” to get the peace deal with Iran signed on Sunday, and revealed significant changes from what he called the “horrible” deal that Barack Obama made with the Islamic Republic.
“There are two fundamental changes from the horrible Obama deal,” Waltz told Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” on the Fox News Channel. “One is the verification.”
“Under Obama’s deal, there was not anytime-anywhere verification. They could determine or even delay the inspectors, or most importantly, they could just call a site a military site. And then it was off-limits. There is no trust. There is all about verify, number one.
“And then number two, you’re not gonna see these pallets of cash moving up front. It is going to be pay be performance. And, oh by the way, you have to come to a U.N. Security Council resolution that we snapped back to in terms of lifting sanctions on the Iranian economy.
“And then finally, the blockade. This is a huge difference from the past. President Trump’s blockade has been enormously effective. This is why you see the regime practically begging for access to any type of economic lifeline. But again, they’re not going to get it till they live up to their end of the bargain.
“So President Trump knowns how to drive a deal, and unlike his predecessors, he’s got the great United States military and very effective actions by [Treasury] Secretary Scott Bessent to keep a foot on the neck of the regime’s economy. So all of these things have me incredibly confident that we’re going to continue to bargain and negotiate from a position of strength.”
Kovacs made no effort to fact-check Waltz’s claims, so he’s just serving as a stenographer, not doing actual reporting.
Kovacs touted another Trump meltdown in a June 15 article:
President Donald Trump is calling for the impeachment of U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., for allegedly lying about the just completed deal with Iran.
On “Fox News Sunday” with Shannon Bream, Reed, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, had stated, “The point the president just made that they agreed not to develop a nuclear weapon, they did that with President Obama’s JCPOA. That was an agreement they held to, not to develop a nuclear weapon.
“So we have spent billions of dollars, we’ve lost 14 personnel killed in action, hundreds wounded, and we disrupted the world economy and we’re getting basically less than what we had under the JCPOA which President Trump walked away from.”
Reed added: “Reuters is reporting that part of the deal is $24 billion in sanctions relief for the Iranians. So this is not a ‘we win and you do what we say.’ This is, ‘how can we open up the straits? What will it cost us?'”
Hours later, Trump took to Truth Social to respond, saying: “Senator Jack Reed, a Dumocrat from R.I., lied when stating the Deal we just made is not as good as the Obama disaster known as the JCPOA.
“Reed is either an outright fraud, or incompetent. The Obuma Deal was a road to a Nuclear weapon for Iran, cash and all, one of the worst and dumbest (hence Dumocrats!)
“Deals ever made by the U.S. Our Deal is a WALL against Iran ever having a Nuclear weapon, the complete opposite of Obuma. Impeach Jack Reed!”
The quiestion of the day leaned further into Trump, asking: “Should Sen. Jack Reed be impeached?”
