Trump denies offering Iran sanctions relief as New York peace talks continue

President Donald Trump denied reports that his administration offered Iran sanctions relief or access to frozen funds in exchange for nuclear commitments, stating on Truth Social, "This is untrue. I offered them NOTHING." He insisted the US will win its war in Iran "very soon." The denial follows reports from Axios and CNN, citing US officials, that Washington was preparing such concessions for "concrete" steps on Iran's nuclear programme. Trump confirmed US officials spoke with mediators in New York, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran was prepared for a "doomsday" war but kept diplomacy channels open. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted, with vessel transits dropping sharply over the weekend. Separately, five British men arrested near RAF Fairford over suspected terror and explosives offences were released on bail, with police examining possible links to Iran, which denies involvement.
