Trump Announces Lifting of Naval Blockade on Iran and Final Decision Pending

President Donald Trump announced that the naval blockade imposed on Iran will be lifted. He stated that he is currently meeting in the "operations room" to make a final decision regarding Iran.

Trump posted on his Truth Social account that Iran must agree never to possess nuclear weapons or bombs. He emphasized that Iran should immediately open the Strait of Hormuz without any transit fees, allowing unrestricted two-way navigation. Additionally, all naval mines, if present, must be removed.

He added that a large number of mines have already been detonated using advanced naval mine sweepers operated by the United States. Trump said Iran will be responsible for promptly removing or detonating any remaining mines, which he expects to be few.

Regarding the ships trapped in the strait due to the "amazing and unprecedented" naval blockade, which will now be lifted, Trump stated these vessels can begin their "return home." He extended greetings to their families on their behalf.

Trump also addressed the enriched materials, sometimes referred to as "nuclear dust," buried deep underground beneath partially collapsed mountains as a result of powerful B2 bomber attacks conducted eleven months ago. He said the United States will extract these materials in close coordination and cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency, then destroy them. It was agreed that the United States and China are the only countries mechanically capable of carrying out this task.

He concluded by stating that no money will be exchanged until further notice. Other, much less significant issues have also been agreed upon.
