Donald Trump offered to jointly govern the country to him.

US President Donald Trump has proposed a "joint leadership" form of governance for Iran. Trump announced this on March 23rd against the backdrop of reports that negotiations had been held with Tehran.

 

According to Trump, in the context of military tensions that have been ongoing for four weeks, the US could govern Iran jointly with an unnamed Iranian leader. He also mentioned the possibility of a "very serious form of regime change" occurring in the country.

 

"I think it could be a joint leadership," said the White House leader.

 

Trump also indicated that the US could consider the option of supporting a new leader, similar to what happened in Venezuela.

 

The President announced on March 23rd that he had decided to postpone planned strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure by five days. According to his words, Israel will also adhere to this decision.

 

Earlier, Trump had given the Iranian government a 48-hour deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

 

Trump emphasized that "very serious negotiations" are underway and stated that control over the strait is also being discussed. "We could jointly control the strait, me and the leader," he said.

 

The US President also claimed that Iranian officials had agreed to the demand to renounce nuclear weapons. However, Iranian media reports that no negotiations have taken place between the two countries.

 

Following reports of Trump's postponement of airstrikes, sharp fluctuations were observed in global financial markets. In particular, the price of Brent crude oil fell by 14 percent, dropping to $96 per barrel.
