Trump announces Iran deal for nuclear inspections, U.S. goods

Donald Trump announced a significant shift in U.S.-Iran relations, stating that Iran has agreed to allow high-level nuclear inspections and purchase American agricultural and medical products using U.S.-released funds. In a post on Truth Social, Trump declared that Iran "fully and completely agreed" to inspections for "many years (indefinitely!!!)" and that this agreement would guarantee "nuclear integrity."

“

Despite their (Iranians') protests and false statements, (...) Iran has fully and completely agreed to nuclear inspections at the highest level, lasting for many years (indefinitely!!!). This will guarantee "nuclear integrity."

Trump also stated that the Strait of Hormuz would remain open, a crucial waterway for global oil transport. He noted that while ships would remain in position, a re-imposition of a blockade was "highly unlikely at this stage." The funds released, described by Trump as "money and/or sanctions," would be held in a U.S.-controlled account and used exclusively for food and medical supplies from the United States. He specifically mentioned corn, wheat, and soybeans as essential goods Iran desperately needs.

Based on this and other important concessions from Iran, I have agreed to allow the Strait of Hormuz to remain OPEN, without further naval blockade. However, all ships remain in position in case a blockade needs to be re-imposed, which seems highly unlikely at this stage.

These announcements followed discussions involving Vice President J.D. Vance and an Iranian delegation in Switzerland. Vance had previously mentioned a proposal from Jared Kushner and a Qatari delegation regarding the use of unfrozen Iranian assets for American agricultural goods. However, Vance had characterized this as a potential future scenario, contradicting Iran's claims that funds had already been released. The U.S. had suspended oil sanctions on Iran for 60 days on June 22. Trump also claimed a record of 19 million barrels of oil transited the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, a figure that appears to be an exaggeration compared to historical data from the International Energy Agency, which reported daily averages exceeding 20 million barrels in 2025.

These are things Iran desperately needs. This is a humanitarian crisis and I believe we need to help NOW before it is too late. Talks are going well!
