US President Donald Trump said Iran would eventually “give up” amid continuing tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, while claiming the United States had moved more oil through the strategic waterway in recent days than ever before. Trump made the remarks at the White House as Washington and Tehran remained engaged in indirect negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme and the strait’s security. Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that regional infrastructure could face risks if Iran’s security was threatened. Meanwhile, US officials indicated that sanctions relief and the release of frozen Iranian funds could be considered if Tehran makes concrete nuclear progress. (PC: Reuters)
