Trump reveals Iran’s ‘present’: 10 oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz
Trump’s Cabinet made its case for the war during its first meeting since conflict with Iran began nearly a month ago. But the signals were mixed, details thin and an endgame nowhere in sight.

President Donald Trump on Thursday revealed, for the first time, why he has faith that Iran is willing to negotiate a peace deal, even as missiles continue to fly across the region.
Iran, he said, allowed eight oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz as a show of good faith, and then sent through two more as an apology — collectively, the “present” he teased on Tuesday.
“I said, ‘Well, I guess we’re dealing with the right people,’” Trump said during a 90-minute Cabinet meeting, his first since the war with Iran began nearly a month ago.
