Earlier in the week, he had claimed Iran gave him \u201ca very big present.\u201d In remarks at a Cabinet meeting, he suggested that talks with Iran could lead to a resolution of the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Trump described reports that eight oil tankers would pass through the Strait of Hormuz as a sign of goodwill from Iran, with the vessels reportedly Pakistan-flagged. He said the ships would sail up the Strait and that Iran had then added two more vessels, making ten in total. He indicated the gesture showed they were dealing with the right people and said Iran later apologized for something and pledged to send two more boats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; An unnamed American official said the gesture followed a U.S. request for goodwill after exchanges between the two countries over the weekend, and that Iran agreed to allow some oil tankers not tied to the U.S. or Israel to pass through Hormuz to help calm global markets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Politico noted a two-track approach in the administration\u2019s strategy, and CENTCOM highlighted ongoing efforts to curb Iran\u2019s military influence. Special envoy Witkoff said Trump preferred peace and that this should be the priority, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned the military would keep \u201cnegotiating with bombs.\u201d Witkoff also stated that before the war began, Iran had enough enriched material to produce 11 nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Trump also characterized Iran as seeking a deal rather than the United States, expressing uncertainty about whether concessions would occur now and suggesting they should have been made earlier-a point he contrasted with his earlier taunting about Iran giving the U.S. a \u201cpresent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The passage includes references to various outlets and commentary about the negotiations and Iran\u2019s concessions, with notes on the broader U.S. strategy and the potential impact on markets and regional security. <\/p>\n<p>Note: The text you shared also contains ad placeholders, code snippets, and form elements interspersed with the narrative.
