Iran must understand that it cannot develop a nuclear weapon.

Meanwhile, Iran has maintained control over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil and gas transport. Reports from Iranian media indicate that one or two points of disagreement remain in the potential deal, despite earlier signals of progress.
