Critics let out a collective sigh Tuesday following reports<\/u> that a \u201cpossible deal\u201d to restart U.S.-Iran peace talks was being circulated between Washington and Tehran, a report that led one progressive activist to allege the news to be just the latest example of President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cmarket manipulation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has repeatedly claimed<\/u> productive talks with Iran over ending the war, statements that have sent oil prices and stock indexes swinging within minutes \u2013 only for Iranian officials to deny any negotiations took place. Critics, including Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, have accused Trump of using pre-market announcements as a “setup for profit-taking,” with some alleging the pattern benefits Trump’s inner circle through well-timed trades tied to the war’s on-and-off escalation.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Bloomberg reported that a \u201cpotential agreement to revive talks\u201d between the United States and Iran had been drafted and circulated between both parties. Now nearly six months into the on-again, off-again conflict, Melanie D\u2019Arrigo \u2013 activist and former Democratic congressional candidate \u2013 argued that the timing of the report was suspect.<\/p>\n

\u201cReported right before the U.S. markets open,\u201d D\u2019Arrigo wrote Tuesday in a social media post<\/u> on X. \u201cThe market manipulation will continue until Trump is held accountable for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) also expressed frustration in response to the report, and revealed he would be addressing Trump\u2019s \u201cgaslighting\u201d on the conflict on the Senate floor this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cA \u2018possible\u2019 deal to start talking about a \u2018possible\u2019 deal,\u201d Murphy wrote Tuesday in a social media post<\/u> on X. \u201cTrump has been gaslighting us all along about the state of Iran negotiations. I will be on the Senate floor to talk about this later in the week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared to corroborate Bloomberg\u2019s reporting Tuesday morning after telling CNBC<\/u> that a deal could be reached \u201ctoday or tomorrow.\u201d Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of the progressive media organization MeidasTouch, sarcastically quipped<\/u> in response: \u201cToday or tomorrow, everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
