Trump slams $30 billion Iran deal report as 'sick hoax' while supreme court hands him sweeping powers
Donald Trump is on the offensive again, furiously denying explosive US media claims that he is offering Iran a $30 billion civil nuclear deal. While calling the report a “hoax,” he also celebrated a massive legal win from the Supreme Court, giving him broader executive authority, including over birthright citizenship.
It was a Friday of fire for Donald Trump, first came explosive headlines accusing him of planning a $30 billion civil nuclear deal with Iran, and then came a Supreme Court ruling handing him a game-changing expansion of presidential power. And, true to form, Trump was not in the mood for calm responses.

Trump explodes over “ridiculous” $30 billion Iran deal report
US media outlet CNN claimed that Trump’s administration was considering offering Iran up to $30 billion in economic aid to develop a non-military nuclear programme, in exchange for halting uranium enrichment. That would be a massive pivot for the former president, who famously torched Obama’s Iran nuclear deal back in 2018. But Trump is having none of it.
Taking to Truth Social in his signature all-caps fury, the former president blasted the reports as “FAKE NEWS” and “just another HOAX.” He questioned which so-called journalist was behind the claim and doubled down on calling the media “sick” for pushing what he said is a fabricated narrative.

Sources claim the alleged deal included help from regional players to build nuclear facilities, but Trump insisted he had “never heard” of such a plan. If true, the pivot would be monumental, coming just days after US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and a surprise ceasefire deal brokered by Trump amid heightened Middle East tensions.
Supreme court gives Trump a legal superpower
While Trump was on the warpath online, the US Supreme Court handed him what he called a “big, amazing decision” in his favour. The justices ruled that lower courts would face more limitations when blocking executive orders, a legal shift that significantly strengthens Trump’s authority.
Calling it a “monumental victory for the Constitution,” Trump beamed at reporters from the White House podium. Legal experts now say this ruling could allow Trump to push through key elements of his second-term agenda with fewer judicial roadblocks.

Birthright citizenship: Next battle incoming?
One of the first big policy moves expected is an attack on birthright citizenship. Trump’s controversial executive order ending automatic citizenship for all babies born on US soil is now set to go into effect within a month. While the Supreme Court has not fully shut the door on legal challenges, it has given Trump a crucial head start.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing the majority opinion, hinted that individual states could still fight back, especially since states handle birth certificates and rarely record parental citizenship. But with Friday’s legal victory, Trump has made it clear: he is not backing down anytime soon.
