The New York Post, long Trump's media megaphone, devoted its front page to mocking the administration's Iran policy—depicting a laughing mullah clutching stacks of cash under the headline "EASY MULLAH."


Donald Trump has always boasted that the New York Post is his favorite newspaper, the megaphone through which he communicates with his base in New York and across America. But this morning (Tuesday), the president woke up to a front page that surely made him throw his breakfast tray: a frontal, blunt, and mocking attack on his administration’s foreign policy.

Billions Flowing to Tehran

The front page shows an Iranian mullah laughing broadly, clutching a fan of $100 bills. The backdrop: Iranian oil fields. The screaming headline, “EASY MULLAH” (a play on “easy money”), hurls a harsh accusation at the Trump administration: giving a “gift” of $10 billion to the terror regime in Tehran through eased oil sanctions—all before a final nuclear deal is even signed.

Vice President J.D. Vance stands at the center of the criticism. According to the Post’s report, Vance is leading the conciliatory line, claiming Iran has agreed to international oversight. But the paper isn’t buying it: “No full agreement has been signed yet,” the front page states, emphasizing that the money is being used to “rebuild the Islamic regime.”
