Description:
President Donald Trump revealed Thursday that Iran is allowing oil shipments to pass through the Strait of Hormuz as part of what he described as a "big present" amid ongoing backchannel talks between the two countries.
Speaking during a Cabinet meeting, Trump said Iranian officials permitted "eight boats of oil" to move through the critical waterway, calling it an apparent gesture of goodwill as negotiations continue.
Trump earlier this week cryptically said that Iran “gave us a present,” and expanded on the remark Thursday.
“Well, I guess we’re dealing with the right people,” Trump said, adding that the tankers are operating under Pakistani flags. "And actually they then apologized for something they said, and they said we're gonna send two more boats," he added. #iranwar #trump #donaldtrump #iran #iranconflict
