Trump says he received Iranian 'present' as thousands of US troops head towards Gulf

Former President Trump stated that the US received a "present" from Iran concerning oil and gas, while also claiming negotiations were underway to end the US-Israeli war on the country. Despite these assertions of diplomacy, thousands of US troops from the 82nd Airborne Division are reportedly being deployed to the Middle East. This contradictory messaging of peace talks and military buildup has created confusion among regional analysts. Iranian officials have dismissed reports of direct negotiations as "fake news," even as Hebrew media reports on a supposed 15-point US plan to end the conflict.
