Trump Slams Iran’s ‘Delay Tactics,’ Blames Obama for Empowering Tehran

In a Truth Social post on May 10, 2026, President Donald Trump accused Iran of stalling U.S. and international negotiations for 47 years before “hitting pay dirt” under Barack Obama’s administration. He alleged that the Obama-era nuclear deal delivered “hundreds of billions” in cash to Tehran, flown in suitcases from U.S. banks, and criticised the former president for abandoning allies like Israel. Trump called Obama “the greatest sucker of them all” and sharpened his attacks on both Obama and Joe Biden. Trump warned that Iran would no longer be able to mock the United States under his leadership. His remarks come amid rising tensions over sanctions, regional security and Iran’s nuclear activities, and are expected to reignite debate on the legacy of U.S. policy toward Tehran.
