Trump denies Iran sanctions relief offer

gulfnews.com —

President Donald Trump denied a report that he offered Iran sanctions relief and the release of frozen funds, calling the claim "untrue" and a "HOAX" on his Truth Social platform Monday. The denial follows an Axios report citing unnamed US officials that Trump was willing to provide such concessions in exchange for concrete Iranian steps on its nuclear program. Trump's statement came as Iran's foreign minister was slated to meet Qatari mediators in New York, with no further direct US-Iran talks scheduled. The dispute occurs amid the ongoing Mideast war, with the Strait of Hormuz effectively blockaded since February 28, causing rising US gas prices and political concerns for Republicans ahead of November midterm elections.
