- Iran gave the US eight boats of oil
- “They said, to show you the fact that we’re real and solid and we’re there, we’re going to let you have eight boats of oil.”
- Iran said it would let eight boats of oil go through, suggests they were Pakistani flagged
- Then the apologized for something and sent two more tankers
- Ten tankers in all were given by Iran
- Asked about a new Iran deadline, says he will announce it
This follows up something he said Tuesday where Iran gave the US a ‘present’ and it meant he was talking to the right people. It was reported yesterday that the ‘present’ was tankers and that was speculated anyway. Of course, on a normal day there are 120 tankers exiting the Strait so it’s an insignificant amount of oil in that context.
