US President Donald Trump has denied reports that he offered Iran sanctions relief and the release of frozen funds in exchange for nuclear concessions. According to Axios, US officials said Trump was willing to make this offer in return for concrete steps from Iran regarding its nuclear program. However, Trump called the report "untrue" and a "hoax" on his Truth Social platform, stating that he offered Iran "NOTHING".
The denial comes amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran. According to The Hill, Trump responded to the Axios report on Truth Social, rejecting the claims. Al-Monitor also reported that Trump described the story as "untrue" and said he offered Iran nothing.
US and Iranian officials met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly last week, and Iran's Foreign Minister was slated to meet with Qatari mediators in New York. The interactions occur as the Middle East conflict continues, with the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for oil and gas shipments, effectively blockaded by Iran, as per New Straits Times and Gulf News.
