Trump Says Iran Allows 10 Oil Tankers to Transit the Strait of Hormuz

Trump said the U.S. is holding substantive talks with “relevant key figures.” He also said that controlling Iran’s oil is “an option,” but he will not discuss it now.

Trump Denies Rushing to Reach an Agreement, Says Military Actions Against Iran Will Continue

On the 26th local time, U.S. President Trump denied that he is rushing to reach an agreement with Iran and said the U.S.’ military actions against Iran are continuing. Earlier, Iran said it had officially responded to the U.S. “15-point plan,” and that the U.S.’ statements about negotiations were nothing more than a “deceptive ploy.”

That day, during a Cabinet meeting, Trump sharply criticized reports by U.S. media that he is urgently seeking to end the war through diplomatic means, insisting that it is Iran that is seeking to restart negotiations. He said whether to cease hostilities depends on Iran, and in the meantime U.S. airstrikes will continue. He also said he does not care whether an agreement can be reached with Iran: “I’m not at all in a hurry.”

Trump also said he is not sure whether Iran will comply with his deadline of opening the Strait of Hormuz by the 27th at the latest, and he is also not sure whether the negotiations will go smoothly, but “we have plenty of time.”
