Trump denies report he offered to ease Iran sanctions

kommersant.ru (Russian) —

US President Donald Trump denied reports that he offered to ease sanctions on Iran and unfreeze its assets in exchange for nuclear program concessions, calling the claims false. Trump wrote on Truth Social that an Axios article was "a lie" created to satisfy an "obsession syndrome" with him. Axios and CNN had reported the alleged proposal, while Reuters mentioned possible sanctions relief for Iraqi Airways. Tehran previously offered to open the Strait of Hormuz in seven days for lifted maritime restrictions, which Trump rejected on September 27. Earlier proposals included freezing uranium enrichment for sanctions relief and US access to Iranian energy fields.
