BREAKING: Trump touts Iran 'present' linked to Strait of Hormuz, says negotiations are ongoing - Video

Trump said 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. Trump also noted that Iran's leadership gave the U.S. a "significant prize" related to the Strait of Hormuz and the flow of oil.
