Iran has sharply ridiculed Donald Trump over his claims of a near uranium deal, using a Persian proverb to dismiss them as fantasy. State media described his remarks as “building castles in the air” and mocked them with the phrase “camel dreams of cottonseed,” implying unrealistic ambitions.

The jab comes as Tehran denies agreeing to any such concessions, exposing a widening gap between U.S. claims and Iran’s stance amid ongoing high-stakes negotiations.

00:15A war of words now turning into open mockery. Iran is taking aim at Donald Trump after his
00:23latest claims about a possible deal with Tehran. In a dramatic response, Iran's state broadcaster,
00:31Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, publicly ridiculed Trump's remarks, calling them
00:36castles in the air. The trigger? Trump's bold claim that the United States is close to a deal with
00:44Iran. I think we have a very successful negotiation going on right now, and I think it'll be, if it
00:51happens, it'll be announced fairly soon, and that'll give us free oil, free Hormuz Strait,
00:58everything will be nice, and I think your oil price will go down to lower than what it was before,
01:03and I think a lot of good things will happen. A statement that raised eyebrows around the world.
01:11Iran's response was sharp and symbolic. State media shared a Persian proverb about a camel dreaming of
01:20eating cotton seed, a phrase used to describe unrealistic fantasies. It's a cultural jab,
01:28a way of saying what Trump is imagining is far from reality. This isn't the first time such language
01:35has been used. The same proverb was previously used by Iran's former supreme leader to mock U.S.
01:43leadership. Trump insists negotiations are progressing, saying a breakthrough could come soon,
01:50and that Iran may even agree to hand over enriched uranium, a key demand from Washington.
01:57But Tehran's position remains firm. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful, and its right to enrich
02:05uranium is non-negotiable. While it may discuss limits, it will not give up that right entirely.
02:13That's the core disagreement. The U.S. reportedly wants long-term restrictions, up to 20 years.
02:21They're not doing any business, they're unable to do any business because of the blockade, and so the
02:26combination of having no Navy, having no Air Force, having no anti-aircraft equipment, they have nothing.
02:33Everything is gone, including their leaders. Now, they have a new set of leaders, and we find them very reasonable.
02:44Well, we haven't agreed to any. We haven't agreed to any.
02:49What we have is we have a statement, very, very
02:53powerful statement that they will not have beyond
02:5620 years, that they will not have nuclear weapons.
03:00That's beyond.
03:00There's no 20-year limit.
03:02The Press Press on Greenland, Mr. President.
03:06The President.
03:08I think that Todd Blanche is doing a very good job,
03:13from what I'm saying.
03:14The Press Press on Greenland.
03:15All I can say, thus far, I think Todd Blanche
03:17is doing a very good job.
03:18The Press Press on Greenland.
03:21If there's no deal, would you be willing to extend the
03:24Seafire, or will the fighting resume, Mr. President?
03:26The President.
03:26I would say the fighting.
03:27If there's no deal, fighting resumes.
03:28The Press Press on Greenland.
03:29And then on gas prices, how much longer will Americans
03:31continue to see these high gas prices?
03:33The President.
03:33Well, they're not very high.
03:34If you look at what they were supposed to be in
03:36order to get rid of a nuclear weapon, with the
03:39danger that entails.
03:40So, the gas prices have come down very much over the
03:43last three, four days.
03:45And I know, you know, and that's what ABC says.
03:47But the fact is that if you look at the stock markets
03:51up, everything is doing really well.
03:53And the big thing we have to do is we have to make sure
03:56that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon.
03:58Because if they do, you want to talk about problems,
04:01you'd have problems.
04:02So, very important is that Iran does not have a
04:05nuclear weapon.
04:06And they've agreed to that.
04:07The Press Press on Greenland.
04:08The President.
04:08The President.
04:08The President.
04:08The President.
04:09So, we have agree to that.
04:09The President.
04:10And they've agreed to it very powerfully.
04:12They've agreed to give us back the nuclear dust,
04:15it's way underground because of the attack we made
04:17with the B2 bombers.
04:18So, we have a lot of agreement with Iran,
04:21and I think something is going to happen very positive.
04:24The Press is a very complicated subject.
04:30It's — I don't think we're waiting.
04:32I think we're moving very fast.
04:34It could happen pretty quickly.
04:37The Press is a very long time.
04:39How long — how long you could sustain the blockade
04:42on the Strait of Humor?
04:44The Press is a very long time.
04:48We're doing very well with the blockade.
04:51It's very routine for us.
04:52The Navy is incredible.
04:54And I think the blockade is doing very well.
04:57No ship is even thinking about entering.
04:59No ship is going past our Navy.
