Trump says Iran is allowing some oil tankers through strait of Hormuz as a sign of good faith for talks.
He said that Iran allowed 10 oil tankers to pass through the strategic strait as a “present” to show it was serious about negotiations to end the war.
Trump told reporters:
[Iran said] we’re going to let you have eight boats of oil, eight boats, eight big boats of oil. This was two days ago. And they’ll sail up tomorrow. That was three days ago. And I didn’t think much about it.
And then I watched the news and they said, a very good anchor actually happened to be Fox. But I watched it and they said, something’s unusual happening. There are eight boats that are going right up the middle of the strait.
Eight big tankers are going loaded up with oil right through. And I said, well, I guess I guess they were right. And they were they were real. And I think they were Pakistani flagged. And, I said, well, I guess we’re dealing with the right people.
And actually they then apologized for something they said, and they said, we’re going to send two more boats. And we ended up being ten boats.
