Donald Trump this Sunday described as “losers” those who have questioned the pre-agreement that Washington and Tehran are negotiating to end the war with Iran and reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil trade.

In a publication published on his social network Truth Social, Trump defended the negotiations with Iran and assured that any pact he reaches will be superior to the nuclear agreement signed in 2015 during the administration of Barack Obama, from which he himself withdrew the United States during his first term.

“If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like Obama's, which gave Iran huge amounts of cash and a clear, open path to a nuclear weapon,” Trump wrote.

The president added that the draft is not yet completely closed and attacked those who criticize him inside and outside the Republican Party.

"Our agreement is the complete opposite, but no one has seen it or knows what it consists of. It is not even fully negotiated. So do not listen to the losers, who criticize something they know nothing about. Unlike those who preceded me and should have resolved this problem many years ago, I do not make bad deals!", he stated.

The Strait of Hormuz became one of the main sources of global tension after the conflict that began in February between the United States, Israel and Iran. Approximately a fifth of the world's maritime oil passes through that strategic route, so any interruption directly affects international energy markets.

The revelations about the possible pact sparked criticism among conservative figures and Republican senators, who believe that the agreement could strengthen the Iranian regime after months of US military offensive.

Senator Ted Cruz warned that the result would be “a disastrous mistake” if Iran maintains the capacity to enrich uranium and obtains financial resources.

“If the result of all this is an Iranian regime, still run by Islamists shouting ‘death to America,’ that is now receiving billions of dollars, that can enrich uranium and develop nuclear weapons, and that is in effective control of the Strait of Hormuz, then that result would be a disastrous mistake,” he declared.

For his part, Roger Wicker, president of the Senate Armed Services Committee, maintained that the agreement would be a “disaster” and assured that “everything achieved by Operation Epic Fury would have been in vain.”

Criticism also reached figures close to Trump. Mike Pompeo pointed out that the draft resembles the nuclear agreement promoted by Obama and called for preventing Tehran from having access to international financing.

Although Trump affirmed on Saturday that the agreement was “long negotiated,” this Sunday he qualified his statements and indicated that “there is no rush” to close it, while the US naval blockade will continue until the final signature.
