Says

Regarding Hormuz, Iran gave us 20 boats of oil to pass through.
Think will make a deal with them pretty soon, but also says it's possible that we won't.
Iran have been reasonable and he thinks they had a regime change.
He does see a deal with Iran and says could be soon.
Responded that Iran came back to us on 15-point plan and gave us most points, when asked if Iran responded to the US plan, but didn't give any further details.

Context

President Trump's comments suggest a potential thaw in diplomatic relations with Iran, which could lead to significant market implications if negotiations progress. The mention of oil transportation hints at possible impacts on energy prices, particularly in relation to WTI and Brent crude, while improvements in US-Iran relations could influence broader market sentiment across equities and the USD. While optimism is evident, the ambiguity regarding the potential deal underscores the risks of a reversal, keeping traders on alert.
