Donald Trump denies offering Iran sanctions relief for nuclear concessions
Donald Trump has denied reports from Axios claiming he offered to ease sanctions or release frozen Iranian assets in exchange for nuclear concessions. Responding on Truth Social, Trump labeled the report 'fake news' and 'pure fabrication,' demanding its immediate withdrawal.
Despite the denials, indirect diplomatic efforts continue through mediators in Qatar and Pakistan. While some officials suggested negotiations regarding the nuclear program and economic relief are ongoing, significant disagreements remain regarding the timing of actions and the specific terms of any potential agreement.
In related developments, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Tehran is still awaiting a decisive US response concerning conditions to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that if Iran achieves nuclear weapons capability, it could potentially control the Strait of Hormuz and impose taxes on global energy shipments.
Regarding maritime security, the US military continues to provide security for oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. A US defense official confirmed that 22 million barrels of oil were exported through the waterway on a recent Friday.
