Donald Trump is embroiled in serious allegations that he is contemplating a fabricated “false flag” incident to escalate U.S. military actions against Iran. This development comes amid heightened tensions that have disrupted global markets and increased fears of a broader regional conflict.
RadarOnline.com discloses that these claims have emerged following the 79-year-old U.S. president’s sudden decision to postpone planned attacks on Iran’s power infrastructure. The deadline was extended by five days after what he called “very good and productive” discussions led by envoys including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Tensions Rise Over Hormuz Transit Framework
Donald Trump delayed planned military strikes on Iran’s power infrastructure by five days.
Trump proposed a framework involving shared oversight of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial oil transit passage. However, Iranian officials rejected the proposal outright, claiming no talks had occurred and accusing Washington of misinformation amid increased military activities involving U.S., Israeli, and Iranian forces.
Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, stated he had information suggesting a plot similar to the September 11 attacks, which would be blamed on Iran to justify further aggression. He emphasized Iran’s opposition to terrorism and stated it is not at war with the American people in a post on X.
Larijani asserted that Iran is currently defending itself against U.S. and Israeli attacks and will respond “strongly and firmly” to punish the aggressors.

False Flag Allegations and Nuclear Negotiations
Ali Larijani accused Washington of spreading misinformation regarding a potential false flag.
Security analysts and regional observers report that rumors of Trump planning a 9/11-style attack to justify his actions against Iran are gaining traction online, particularly on Telegram channels and fringe social media networks.
An intelligence source from the Middle East mentioned, “These claims are now circulating widely across Telegram groups, where they are being framed as evidence of a pretext for war.”
A digital disinformation researcher in Europe noted, “We are seeing a sharp spike in posts referencing a ‘false flag’ scenario linked to Iran – the narrative is spreading quickly and being amplified across multiple platforms.”
Trump has stated, “My whole life has been a negotiation but with Iran, we’ve been negotiating a long time. This time, they mean business.”
He further added, “That’s point number one, two and three – they will never have a nuclear weapon.” When asked if Iran had agreed to abandon its nuclear ambitions, Trump replied, “They’ve agreed to that.”

Market Volatility and Threatened Escalation
Mohammad Ghalibaf dismissed negotiation reports as fake news.
These assertions were quickly dismissed by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliamentary speaker, who stated, “No negotiations with America have taken place. Fake news is intended to manipulate financial and oil markets and to escape the quagmire in which America and Israel are trapped.”
Iranian officials suggested the delay in U.S. military action might instead reflect preparations for the arrival of 4,500 US Marines expected in the region later this week.
Markets reacted sharply to the uncertainty. Benchmark Brent crude dropped from $114 to $96 a barrel following news of the postponed strikes before rebounding to around $100 after Iran denied negotiations. The FTSE 100 rose as traders responded to the temporary easing of tensions.
Meanwhile, Iranian state media issued warnings of “special events” targeting Tel Aviv, signaling further escalation.

U.S. Marines prepared for arrival in the region.
Officials stated that any such actions would “completely remove hope of negotiations from the minds of the aggressors.”
Iran has also vowed to maintain pressure on global energy markets through its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Israel continued its bombardment of Tehran, with officials confirming a fresh wave of strikes on military and regime-linked targets. Intelligence sources say significant quantities of near-weapons-grade uranium remain unaccounted for in fortified underground facilities.
In the U.K., Prime Minister Keir Starmer acknowledged mounting pressure from Washington.
He said: “I understand exactly what is going on, but I’m not going to waver on this.”
Starmer also conceded Britain was not yet on a “war footing,” amid unresolved disputes over defense funding between Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Defence Secretary John Healey.
He said: “I will not make commitments without being clear where the funding is coming from.”
