And Unconditional Surrender!

And a floor wax! And a dessert topping! It’s as also new! And improved!! And shiny !!!
Speaking to reporters earlier at the White House, President Trump mentions and vaguely talks about a mysterious “present” given to the United States yesterday by Iran:

“Because they're going to make a deal. They're going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present, and the present arrived today. 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. And they gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it. So that meant one thing to me, we’re dealing with the right people. No, it wasn't nuclear related. It was oil and gas related. And it was a very nice thing they did.”
Does Bibi know? For that matter, does Iran know?
The United States and a group of regional mediators, including Egypt, Pakistan and Turkey, are discussing the possibility of holding high-level peace talks with Iran as soon as Thursday, but are still waiting for a response from Tehran, possibly from Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei himself, two sources with knowledge of the discussions tell Axios.

U.S. President Trump is interested in winding down the war, but Iran's chokehold on the Gulf of Hormuz complicates any potential exit strategy. The U.S. has shared with Israel its 15-point plan to end the war and claimed Iran had agreed to many of the key points. However, there has been no tangible evidence of any such agreement and any concessions have been denied by Iran.
Is Trump blowing smoke again? Or does he just have no clue what he’s doing? 
U.S. President Donald J. Trump tells reporters regarding negotiations with Iran: “The leaders left. 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. And we'll see what happens.”
Signs point to ‘Yes.’
