Trump Assures Iran Has Agreed to Highest Level of Nuclear Inspections

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Iran has agreed to submit to the highest level of nuclear inspections for an indefinite period, a move he claims will ensure the country's "nuclear honesty." Trump stated on his social media platform, Truth Social, that this agreement is crucial for maintaining the Strait of Hormuz open without further naval blockades. He asserted that without Iran's acceptance of these inspections, "there would be no more negotiations."

Iran has fully and completely agreed to the highest level of nuclear inspections for a long period (infinite!). This will ensure nuclear honesty. If they had not agreed to this, there would be no more negotiations!

Trump also indicated that due to this and "other important concessions made by Iran," he has agreed to allow the Strait of Hormuz to remain open. While maintaining naval vessels in certain positions "just in case," he suggested that reinstating a blockade now appears "very unlikely." This development follows an announcement by Iran's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, confirming the waterway is "completely open for commercial vessels" without payment for crossing, at least for the 60 days stipulated in a preliminary agreement between Iran and the U.S. to extend a ceasefire and reach a final deal.

The Strait of Hormuz will remain open, without any further naval blockade.

Regarding frozen assets, Trump stated that funds and/or sanctions being released by the U.S. Treasury would be deposited into a blocked escrow account controlled by the United States. These funds, he added, would be used exclusively for purchasing food and medical supplies, specifically "corn, wheat, and soybeans from our great American farmers."

The money and/or sanctions that the U.S. Treasury is releasing are deposited into a blocked escrow account, controlled by the United States, and will be used for the purchase of food and medical supplies: exclusively from the United States, including corn, wheat, and soybeans from our great American farmers.

However, the Iranian ambassador countered this, asserting that Iran alone will decide on the use of its unfrozen assets abroad, contrary to Trump's claims. He emphasized that "no entity or other party (in the negotiations) will have a say in how they are used." Despite these differing views on asset management, Trump expressed optimism, stating, "The talks are going well!"

There will be no entity or other party (in the negotiations) that will have a say in how they are used.
