Trump: US ‘only semi-negotiating’ with Iran, observing impact of economic pressure – report
"We are only semi-negotiating with them. We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money," Trump told Axios.
US President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that the US is “only semi-negotiating” with Iran, observing the impact of economic pressure on Tehran. Trump told Axios that Washington is “low-keying it” and watching Iran deal with “huge inflation and the fact they have no money,” attributing this to the US blockade on Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz. A US official noted that with a pause in strikes, Iran is confronting its economic reality. Trump expressed no frustration over Tehran's hesitation to finalize a deal with Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying, “It will work out. It always works out. It's like a chess game.” Iran's Supreme National Security Council head, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, previously outlined conditions for the agreement, including the US refraining from threats, ending wars with allies, lifting the naval blockade, and releasing frozen funds.
