In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said Iran would have to agree that it will never have a nuclear weapon or bomb. He also said the Strait of Hormuz must be opened immediately for unrestricted shipping traffic in both directions, with no tolls.

Trump Iran Hormuz Deal Centers on Shipping and Nuclear Terms

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most closely watched maritime routes, making any disruption there a major concern for commercial and energy shipping. Trump’s statement tied the reopening of the waterway to broader conditions involving Iran’s nuclear commitments and the removal of maritime hazards.

Trump said ships delayed in the area because of what he described as an “unprecedented” US naval blockade could begin heading home. He also said the blockade “will now be lifted,” though he separately stated that a final determination on the wider agreement was still pending.

Iran Asked to Clear Remaining Mines

Trump said US underwater minesweepers had already detonated numerous water mines in the area. He said Iran would be responsible for immediately removing or detonating any remaining mines, adding that only a limited number were believed to remain.

The statement did not provide an independent count of mines, a clearance timeline or confirmation from Iranian officials.

Uranium Issue Linked to IAEA Coordination

Trump also said enriched uranium buried underground would be unearthed and destroyed by the United States in coordination with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. He claimed the material was beneath collapsed mountains caused by a previous B2 bomber attack and said the United States and China had the mechanical capability needed for the operation.

Trump added that no money would be exchanged “until further notice” and said other less important items had already been agreed to.

The next key question is whether Iran formally accepts the terms. Without confirmation from Tehran, the proposal remains a high-stakes diplomatic move rather than a completed agreement.
