The whole thing is blatant bullshit.

The post he made on Truth Social was just market manipulation. There’s a bunch of news stories about it; people made a sudden flurry of big bets on oil futures minutes before the post went up. Iran immediately told everyone the claim was bullshit, no one had tried to talk to them for days. Now he’s being pressed for an explanation and he’s doubling down by making up this lie about Iran sending him a bribe or a peace offering or something. It’s all just lies on lies.
