One day after rejecting Iran's proposal, Trump announced that negotiations will resume this week
Donald Trump, President of the United States, announced on Sunday, March 5, that he expects US negotiations to re-enter talks with Iran this week.
This position comes a day after Trump announced that he rejected Iran's proposal for an agreement to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
🔸Donald Trump said in a telephone interview with the news website Axios: "I expect negotiations with Iran to continue this week. They want to reach an agreement, but not the agreement I want. This is what we might have agreed to perhaps a year ago. 'They have gone too far'."
In response to a question about whether he is considering renewing strikes against Iran, he said: "I am always thinking about it."
Two regional sources confirmed Trump's statements regarding the resumption of negotiations this week. They told Axios they expect another round of indirect talks between the US and Iran to begin on Monday, although there is no chance of resolving the differences between the two sides.
🔸Trump further announced that the US military will assist in transporting a large amount of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
According to him, over the past weekend, the largest amount of oil passed through this strait since the beginning of the war. Trump announced this amount as "more than 20 million barrels."
A US Department of Defense official also confirmed Trump's statement, saying 22 million barrels of oil were exported through the Strait of Hormuz on Friday evening.
🔸 The President of the United States told reporters an hour ago that this country has removed unprecedented amounts of oil from the Strait of Hormuz, and this is even more than before the start of the war with Iran.
Before leaving the White House for Illinois to participate in the "Presidents Cup" golf tournament, he announced: "We are moving huge amounts of oil (from the Strait of Hormuz). Last night we set a new record for oil exiting the strait. More than the amount we exported before the war."
Last week, the CENTCOM commander announced that in recent months, the US military has helped one billion barrels of oil from Persian Gulf countries, excluding Iran, pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
On Sunday, the US President also predicted that the war with Iran will end "soon" and said that after the end of the clashes, the price of oil will drop.
