Trump says blockade on Iran naval ports to be lifted as he is set to make final decision on deal

Trump said the deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, lift the U.S. blockade and destroy Iran’s enriched uranium, with no money exchanged.

  • President Donald Trump convened a White House Situation Room meeting on Friday to make a "final determination" on a proposed Iran deal, but left without announcing a decision.
  • Trump laid out strict terms demanding Iran agree "they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb," remove sea mines from the Strait of Hormuz, and destroy enriched uranium under international oversight.
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Washington's "Operation Economic Fury" seized $1 billion in crypto, while Iran argues roughly $12 billion in frozen assets remains central to any agreement.
  • Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz since February, and Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf noted Tehran does not gain concessions through talks, but through missiles.
  • The International Atomic Energy Agency reports Iran holds 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60%, a short step from 90% weapons-grade purity, as both nations trade strikes despite ongoing talks.
