President Donald Trump reportedly assured world leaders that Iran was “about to surrender” hours before its new Supreme Leader vowed revenge on the U.S.
He’s said to have made the claim during a call with G7 leaders on Wednesday morning as he sought to assuage panic over spiraling oil prices. That same day, his administration lifted sanctions on Russia to allow Moscow to sell oil in a bid to relieve the global shortage caused by Iran choking the supply in the Strait of Hormuz.
Officials from three G7 countries have now revealed Trump’s contradictory attempts to allay the concerns of Western nations. Sources told Axios that Trump claimed Iran is “about to surrender” before then saying, “Nobody knows who is the leader, so there is no one that can announce surrender.”
