WASHINGTON, March 27 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump on Thursday said Iran allowed 10 oil tankers, including eight Pakistani-flagged ones, through the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a "gift" to the United States amid reports of "indirect talks" between the US and Iran.
At a White House cabinet meeting on Thursday, D. Trump noted that this event proves that Washington held “very meaningful negotiations” with the Iranian side.
“I think we’re dealing with the right people,” the president added, declining to name who exactly the US is negotiating with.
According to D. Trump, Iran first allowed the passage of eight oil tankers, and then two more “as an apology.”
The American president also suggested that intercepting Iranian oil supplies was “one of the possible options.
“I wouldn’t talk about it, but it’s one of the options,” said D. Trump.
He added that the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3 has earned the United States "billions and billions of dollars."
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Thursday that indirect talks between the US and Iran are being conducted through messages sent through Pakistan.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched massive airstrikes against Iran, disrupting global shipping, sending oil prices soaring, and sending shockwaves through the global economy.
