3 published verifications about Islamic Republic Of Iran Islamic Republic Of Iran ×
“The United States Senate approved a resolution to halt United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
The Senate did pass such a resolution in 2020. Official Senate records show approval of S.J.Res. 68, which sought to halt U.S. military hostilities against Iran absent congressional authorization. However, the measure was later vetoed and never took legal effect, and similar efforts in 2025-2026 were rejected.
“Donald Trump said that an attack on Iran was postponed at the request of Gulf allies.”
Multiple contemporaneous reports, including AP- and Reuters-based coverage and direct audio/video, show Trump publicly said a planned Iran strike was postponed after requests from Gulf allies. The remaining uncertainty concerns the underlying military reality and ally involvement, not whether he made the statement.
“The administration of former United States President Barack Obama gave the Islamic Republic of Iran 150 billion United States dollars in cash as part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (Iran nuclear deal).”
The evidence does not support a $150 billion U.S. cash payment to Iran under the nuclear deal. The JCPOA mainly lifted sanctions and unfroze some of Iran’s own overseas assets, which is not the same as the Obama administration giving Iran cash. The frequently cited $150 billion figure was a high-end estimate of frozen assets, while officials said only a smaller portion was actually accessible; a separate $1.7 billion cash settlement was unrelated to the JCPOA.
