President Trump is denying an Axios report that he is prepared to offer Iran sanctions relief and access to frozen funds in exchange for nuclear concessions.
“I offered them NOTHING,” Trump said, calling the Axios report a “HOAX” and demanding it be withdrawn immediately.
Évaluation
Trump publicly rejected a report that he was ready to trade sanctions relief for Iranian nuclear concessions, calling it a hoax. The denial puts the administration's Iran policy back in question, since the Axios story suggested a shift toward negotiation. Watch for whether the White House issues a formal statement or whether Axios stands by its sourcing. The episode signals internal tension over how to handle Iran.
