Iran accepts nuclear inspections, no more Hormuz blockade: Trump

United States President Donald Trump has announced that the strategic Strait of Hormuz will remain open, stating there will be no additional naval blockade as diplomatic engagement with Iran continues. In a post shared on Truth Social, he said maritime traffic through the vital waterway would proceed normally, although naval forces would stay positioned in the region if future action becomes necessary. The US president also claimed Tehran had accepted the “highest level” of nuclear monitoring and inspection measures as part of ongoing negotiations. He stated Iran’s agreement to strict oversight was a key condition for keeping diplomatic talks alive, warning that negotiations would have ended had Tehran refused those inspection terms. He further stated that any financial relief or sanctions-related funds made available to Iran would be placed in special escrow accounts overseen by the US. Trump said those funds would be restricted solely to humanitarian purchases, allowing Iran to buy essential goods such as food and medical supplies from American suppliers. He added that agricultural products including corn, wheat, and soybeans produced by US farmers would form part of the approved purchases under the arrangement. The remarks come amid continued diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran as both sides work toward a broader agreement surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme and regional stability.
