Trump: Indirect negotiations with Iran are progressing smoothly, and an agreement is expected to be reached soon.

Odaily Planet Daily reports, according to the Financial Times, that although U.S. President Trump threatened to seize Iran’s oil production rights, he simultaneously emphasized that indirect negotiations with Iran are progressing smoothly through a “special envoy” from Pakistan. When asked if a ceasefire agreement could be reached in the coming days and if the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, Trump declined to provide specific details. He stated, “We have about 3,000 targets left to bomb—currently, we have bombed 13,000 targets—plus several thousand more targets pending execution. An agreement is expected to be reached soon.” Last week, Trump claimed that Iran had allowed 10 tankers flying the Pakistani flag to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as “a gift to the White House.” He noted that this number has now increased to 20 tankers, and the first batch has set sail, “navigating right through the center of the strait.” He also mentioned that Iran’s Speaker of Parliament, Qalibaf, personally authorized the passage of these tankers.
