Trump says Iran has made the US a "great gift" linked to the Strait of Hormuz

U.S. President Donald Trump has assured that Iran has made a "great gift" to his country in connection with the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump has not specified what this supposed "gift" consists of, but has stated that it has "incalculable value " and is related to oil and gas, referring to the flow of oil through that strategic enclave.

The president has linked this gesture to a possible "regime change" in Iran, considering that Washington is dealing with "the right people" and that its current interlocutors are "very different."

At the same time, Trump has insisted that Iran's representatives have recognized that "they will never have nuclear weapons." According to Washington, they are in the process of reaching an agreement to end the conflict.

However, Iran denies direct negotiations with the United States and believes that the US president's statement seeks to manipulate oil prices on international markets. 

Moreover, the US president announced a five-day postponement of the ultimatum ending on Monday, requiring Tehran to allow free passage through Hormuz or to attack Iran's energy infrastructure.

These statements come ata time of heightened tension in the region. The US justifies the bombing of Iran as an "imminent" threat, but international experts have questioned that.
