Washington: US President Donald Trump made a big claim on Tuesday saying that Iran has now agreed not to develop nuclear weapons.

However, independent confirmation of this claim has not yet emerged.

According to Trump, this conflict has now reached a point where America sees itself in a stronger position.

What is the ‘gift’ associated with the Strait of Hormuz?

Trump made another shocking claim saying that Iran has given America a big "gift" related to oil and gas, which is related to the Strait of Hormuz. Although he did not clearly say what this gift was, but he did say that its economic value is quite huge and this indicates that the talks are going in a positive direction.

Who is leading this conversation?

According to the US president, senior leaders like Vice President JD Vance, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are involved in this entire process. Trump said that Iran seems serious about the agreement and talks have gained momentum.

Has there been a change in power in Iran?

Trump also claimed that a major change has been seen in the current leadership of Iran.

What is the role of Pakistan?

Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has offered talks between the two countries. Trump supported his proposal and said that if needed, the talks could be taken forward with the help of a third party.

What are the further indications?

From Trump's statements it certainly seems that the situation between America and Iran is softening to some extent. But until a formal agreement is confirmed by both countries, it will be premature to consider these claims as final. At present, the eyes of the world are on whether this tension is really moving towards ending or it is just diplomatic rhetoric.
