\u201cAn agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran<\/a>, and the various other Countries,\u201d Trump posted.

It said Trump\u2019s assertion that an agreement was nearly final was \u201cinconsistent with reality\u201d.
