Trump Considers Kharg Island Seizure; Iran Agrees to ‘Most’ Demands
President Donald Trump said on Sunday that Iran has accepted most items on a 15-point demand list. He spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One about messages the United States sent through Pakistan.
U.S. summary of the exchange
Trump said Tehran agreed with “most of the points.” He added a few outstanding issues remain. He described talks as both direct and indirect.
The president said the list contained 15 requests. He said the two sides were working through some remaining items.
Claims of oil transfers
Trump said Iran offered oil to demonstrate sincerity. He described earlier reports of a “present” as 10 massive boatloads of oil.
He also said Iran provided another 20 boatloads. Those shipments were said to begin being loaded tomorrow.
Iran’s official posture
Tehran did not immediately sign on to the entire 15-point plan last week. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said messages moved through intermediaries.
Araghchi signaled skepticism about Washington’s position. Iranian officials have not issued a full acceptance, according to those remarks.
Elements believed to be in the plan
- Commitment by Iran to avoid developing nuclear weapons.
- Transfer of highly enriched uranium out of Iran.
- Limitations on Tehran’s defensive capabilities.
- An end to support for regional proxy groups.
- Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for shipping.
Trump previously told Filmogaz.com that Iran had committed to not acquiring a nuclear weapon. Tehran has made similar public statements in the past.
