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 and remove enriched uranium if Iran agrees to no nuclear weapon and no tolls.
- President Donald Trump announced he is lifting the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports, declaring on Truth Social that ships caught in the Strait of Hormuz by the "amazing and unprecedented" blockade can now begin heading home.
- The move comes as Trump convenes a high-level White House Situation Room meeting with his top advisers to make a "final determination" on approving the tentative 60-day ceasefire extension reached by negotiators.
- Trump outlined a steep public wishlist of core conditions for the deal, asserting that Iran must permanently renounce nuclear weapons, completely reopen the Strait of Hormuz toll-free, clear all maritime mines, and allow the U.S. to "unearth and destroy" its highly enriched uranium.
- Top Iranian officials quickly pushed back, signaling that a final agreement is not yet locked in and rejecting Trump's depiction of the terms; Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf warned that Tehran has "no trust in guarantees" and only builds leverage "through missiles."
- Global financial markets reacted with sharp optimism to the potential de-escalation, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumping 389 points to surpass the 51,000-point milestone in early afternoon trading as energy disruptions threatened to ease.
