Trump: Iran's 'Goodwill Gesture' Allows 10 Oil Tankers Through Hormuz
•US President Donald Trump stated Iran allowed 10 oil tankers, including Pakistan-flagged vessels, to transit the Strait of Hormuz as a 'goodwill gesture' in negotiations.
•Trump elaborated on earlier 'gift' comments, saying eight 'big boats of oil' passed through, followed by two more, suggesting Iran's seriousness.
•He also mentioned taking control of Iran's oil as an 'option,' comparing it to the Venezuela situation after Nicolas Maduro's ousting.
•Washington delivered a 15-point 'action list' to Iran via Pakistan, a framework for a possible peace deal, confirmed by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff.
•Despite Trump's call for Iran to 'get serious' about negotiations, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denied engaging in or planning talks, stating messages through other nations are not negotiations.
