00:00U.S. President Donald Trump says he has offered Iran nothing, rejecting reports that he was willing to offer sanctions
00:08relief and release frozen Iranian funds in return for concessions on its nuclear program.
00:14The denial comes as Iran, true Qatari mediators, proposes reopening the Strait of Hormuz in return for economic relief and
00:22an end to the U.S. naval blockade.
00:24Earlier, American news website Azios and CNN, citing U.S. officials, reported that Trump was open to easing sanctions and
00:32freeing frozen Iranian funds.
00:34Trump rejected that account on Truth Social, saying, I offered them nothing.
00:39The denial comes as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi held talks with Qatari mediators in New York.
00:45Tehran has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz within days if Washington releases frozen funds, lift sanctions and ends its
00:54naval blockade.
00:56Iran says those steps could clear the way for broader talks to end the war.
01:01But Washington says any deal must also address Iran's nuclear program.
01:05Separately, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mahmoud Bayer-Ghalibaf has warned that if Iran cannot sell its oil, other countries in the
01:13region should not expect it to continue exporting further.
01:17He also says regional infrastructure would not be safe if Iran's security is not guaranteed.
