President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that Iran had granted what he described as a significant energy concession to the United States,
though he declined to provide specific details about the nature of the gift.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said Iran offered the concession as a show of goodwill during negotiations aimed at ending the 25-day conflict that has disrupted global markets.
"They gave us a gift, and that gift arrived today, and it was a very large gift, worth a lot of money," Trump said. "I'm not going to tell you what the gift was. It was a very significant prize, and they gave it to us. They said they were going to give it to us, so that meant one thing to me—we're dealing with the right people."
Trump indicated that the concession was related to the Strait of Hormuz, an oil shipping route that the United States has struggled to keep open during the conflict.
"It wasn't about the nuclear program, it was about oil and gas, and that was very nice of them," Trump said.
The president stated that the United States is currently negotiating with Iran to reach an agreement to end hostilities, adding that Iranian officials are eager to reach an agreement. Trump said that US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, as well as Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, are participating in the talks. He did not confirm whether Witkoff and Kushner are planning talks this week.
Pakistan has stated that it is ready to host talks between the United States and Iran.
Trump has sent additional troops to the Middle East amid the ongoing conflict.
