President Trump Says Iran Simply Gave The U.S. A Very BIG Current
Could the war with Iran soon come to an end?
President Trump has revealed the United States was offered a very “big present” from Iran.
Trump on Tuesday noted that Iranian officials offered the U.S. a very big gift that was worth a lot of money, but did note it was not nuclear-related.
The Hill reported more on the “big present”:
President Trump said Tuesday that Tehran gave the U.S. a “present” related to oil and gas as the countries look toward a potential ceasefire, though he did not specify exactly what the gift was.
“They gave us a present and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money,” Trump said of Iran.
“It wasn’t nuclear-related, it was oil and gas-related,” he added, though he did not offer further details.
He described it as “very significant.”
Asked if it was related to the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping channel that has been effectively blocked since the war began, Trump answered affirmatively.
“It was related to the flow” and the strait, he said.
The White House did not immediately respond to a question from The Hill about what exactly the gift was.
About one-fifth of the world’s oil travels through the Strait of Hormuz on a given day. Since the start of the conflict, oil prices have jumped up as shipping has halted.

CNBC reported the U.S. has also offered Iran a 15-point plan:
President Donald Trump said Tuesday the U.S. and Iran are “in negotiations right now” and suggested Tehran is eager to make a peace deal, even as the Islamic Republic has denied it is in direct talks with Washington.
Trump, speaking in the Oval Office, said he decided to back off from his recent threat to order strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure “based on the fact we’re negotiating.”
“They’re talking to us, and they’re talking sense,” Trump said when asked to further explain his pivot.
Later Tuesday, The New York Times, citing two unnamed officials, reported that the U.S. has sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war.
It was unclear how widely the plan — delivered through Pakistan — has been circulated among Iranian officials, the Times reported. It was also unclear if Israel, which is attacking Iran alongside the U.S., would support the plan, according to the newspaper.
A day earlier, Trump told reporters that there were “like 15” points of agreement between the U.S. and Iran. Keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon was “No. 1, 2 and 3″ on that list, he said.
The new announcements come as the U.S. has sent the Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East:
