Trump reveals the shocking truth: what exactly did he mean by "Iran sent us a big gift" the day before?
He said Iran allowed 10 oil tankers flying the Pakistani flag to pass through the Strait of Hormuz—clearly a gesture of goodwill during negotiations.
He added that the big gift from Iran’s current leadership was actually eight oil tankers transporting crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz!
"They said, 'To prove we're serious, we'll let you have 8 big boats of oil.' Then they apologized and even added 2 more. Total of 10 ships! I said, this must be real! I think they’re flying the Pakistani flag. We’ve found the right people!"
The cabinet meeting on the 26th was the first during the Iran crisis, making Iran and the strait the central topics.
When discussing the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said:
"Isn’t it surprising? We don’t actually need the Strait of Hormuz at all. We don’t need it in the slightest. We have abundant oil resources, and the U.S. has not been affected. Our oil reserves are twice those of Saudi Arabia or Russia."
He also told UK Prime Minister Starmer, “Brother, there’s no need for you to go to the Gulf to send warships for escort duties—we don’t need them. Compared to our aircraft carriers, theirs are just toys.”
