Trump claimed that Iran has agreed that it would never have a nuclear weapon, adding that Tehran gave Washington a "present" worth a lot of money.

US President Donald Trump said his administration is “talking to the right people" in Iran, adding that the regime “wants to make a deal so badly." He also claimed that Iran has agreed to the US condition of never having nuclear weapons.

While speaking during the swearing-in ceremony of Markwayne Mullin as the new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Trump said the US is having “tremendous success" in Iran.

“The leaders are all gone. Nobody knows who to talk to. But we’re actually talking to the right people and they want to make a deal so badly, you have no idea how badly they want to make a deal," he said.

Furthermore, Trump claimed that Iran has agreed that it would never have a nuclear weapon. “They’re talking to us and they’re talking sense. And remember, it all starts with they cannot have a nuclear weapon."

“I don’t want to say in advance, but they’ve agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon. They’ve agreed to that," he claimed, without offering any more details. He also said the US received a “present" from Iran worth “tremendous amount of money."

“They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present, and the present arrived today, and it was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money. And I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize," he said.

He added that the gift was “oil-and gas-related" and related to the Strait of Hormuz. “It was a very nice thing they did. But what it showed me is that we’re dealing with the right people."

Iran has denied engaging in talks with the US, and officials familiar with the matter have clarified that what has taken place in recent days has been more of a passing along of messages through mediators. However, Trump on Tuesday claimed Tehran had reached out over the weekend to negotiate a deal to end the war.

Asked if he’d like to see Gulf allies get more involved in the war against Iran, Trump said, “A little bit, but more NATO. I think our Gulf allies have been pretty good."
