US President Donald Trump claimed that the US is “doing very well with Iran” as indirect negotiations with Tehran are ongoing, while speaking to reporters outside the White House on Friday.
“We are doing very well with Iran. We're talking to Iran. We have been. We haven't lost a soldier in seven months or six months. We have the Hormuz Strait opening,” he said.
Left out here: Leaves out what changes the picture
The article lets Trump's claim that 'We have the Hormuz Strait opening' stand with nothing from the Iranian side. It never says that an Iranian official tied any reopening of Hormuz to Tehran's conditions: waiving oil sanctions, ending the US naval blockade and releasing frozen Iranian funds. Without this a reader believes the strait's reopening is a settled US gain, when Iran says it depends on terms still being negotiated.

Iran is reportedly reviewing proposals, presented by mediators in Qatar, regarding a potential deal with the US, according to a _New York Times_ report on Thursday.
Trump’s Friday comments came shortly after the US Treasury Department announced that it had added eight Canada-based businesses to its Specially Designated List accused of enabling and facilitating currency exchanges with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
