Trump denies Axios report on Iran sanctions relief: 'I offered them nothing'

US President Donald Trump denied an Axios report claiming Washington considered lifting sanctions on Iran and unfreezing its assets in exchange for nuclear commitments, stating "I offered them nothing" on Truth Social. The Axios report, citing US government sources, suggested possible concessions for Iranian nuclear guarantees. Contacts resumed last week at the UN General Assembly, but Iran's IRNA reported Monday that no new meeting is planned. The dispute centers on the Strait of Hormuz, through which about one-fifth of global hydrocarbons passed before the February 28 US-Israel attack on Iran. Talks collapsed after the Islamabad memorandum, with nuclear issues, sanctions, and strait control unresolved.
