Trump denies report claiming U.S. offered Iran sanctions relief
Trump called the Axios account a hoax and said he offered Iran nothing as indirect talks continue through Qatari and Pakistani mediators.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump denied offering Iran sanctions relief or frozen funds, calling the Axios report "a HOAX" on Truth Social and demanding the news site withdraw it immediately.
- Axios reported, citing U.S. officials, that Trump was willing to provide sanctions relief and release frozen Iranian funds in return for "concrete Iranian steps regarding the nuclear program."
- Diplomatic efforts by Qatar and Pakistan followed Trump's rejection of an Iranian proposal to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran has effectively blockaded since the war began.
- According to the state news agency IRNA, Tehran has no direct talks scheduled with Washington, despite recent meetings between officials in New York last week at the UN General Assembly.
- Ongoing war since February 28, 2026, and a media ban on Axios frame the administration's strained relationship with the outlet, which Trump accused of suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome.
