UK Terror Plot Suspects Out on Bail as Trump Denies Iran Offer

Five suspects arrested near a British air base used by American bombers are out on bail, drawing a sharp response from President Trump. The possible attack comes as Washington and Tehran trade messages over a possible nuclear agreement. This report aired on The 700 Club.

President Trump says reports of a sanctions offer to Iran are false. Axios, citing unnamed U.S. officials, reported that Trump was willing to ease sanctions and release frozen funds if Iran took steps on its nuclear program. But Trump called the report "a hoax" and wrote, "I offered them NOTHING!" on Truth Social.

Asked about the prospect of talks with Iran, the president had this response: "No, no. We''re gonna win. As far as I''m concerned, it''s gonna be one way or the other. It''s gonna go pretty quickly, too."

Iran''s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, is projecting confidence of his own. In a statement read on state television, he claimed Iranian forces have driven enemy forces back from the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Central Command says Iran''s claim that it controls the strait is false. It says thousands of ships and more than a billion barrels of oil have passed through in recent months.

In Britain, five men arrested near RAF Fairford were released on bail Monday. The base has been used by American bombers during conflicts in the Middle East, including this year''s war with Iran. Detectives are investigating a possible link to Iran, among other leads. Trump says he would have kept the men in custody.

"I''m surprised that they released them. I wouldn''t have done that," Trump said. "Look, they''ve been very good. They worked with us very closely. We know everything about them. We would not have released them."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio also pointed to possible foreign involvement: "It''s a serious situation, and it''s one that is a very serious situation. It''s one that clearly involved the hands of a foreign actor."

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has resumed oil exports through its East-West pipeline after repairs to damage from drone strikes. The route carries oil to the Red Sea, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.

And at the United Nations, more than forty countries boycotted an event marking twenty-five years since the Durban Conference. The 2001 meeting was meant to combat racism, but was overshadowed by attacks on Israel and antisemitism at a parallel activist forum. The United States and Israel walked out. Israel''s ambassador, Danny Danon, says the fight against racism must never become a vehicle for antisemitism.
