Trump to sign Iran deal June 14, vows Strait of Hormuz will open

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he is set to sign a new agreement with Iran on June 14. He stated that immediately following the signing, the Strait of Hormuz will be fully opened to all traffic.

“

The Obama administration’s Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) was a smooth and beautiful path for Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.

Trump sharply criticized the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the nuclear deal negotiated under former President Barack Obama. He characterized the JCPOA as an easy route for Iran to acquire nuclear weapons within six years. In contrast, Trump described the agreement he has brokered as a "WALL" designed to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, asserting that Iran no longer desires them.

“

The deal I made with Iran is the opposite. It is A WALL to prevent nuclear weapons.

He further emphasized that his administration's deal differs significantly from the previous one, particularly in financial terms. Unlike the Obama administration, which reportedly paid Iran billions of dollars, including $1.7 billion in cash, Trump stated there would be "no financial transactions" involved in the new agreement. This stance appears to dismiss any potential Iranian claims for compensation related to past conflicts.

“

The deal is scheduled to be signed tomorrow, and immediately after the signing, the Strait of Hormuz will be OPEN TO ALL.

Trump also alluded to potential future cooperation with Iran and the broader Middle East, expressing hope for a swift and smooth process. However, he issued a veiled threat, suggesting that if the process does not proceed as desired, the U.S. would resort to "final measures" that he hopes will never be used again. The article notes that Iran's stance on the potential June 14 signing remains uncertain, with an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson suggesting the date was not definite, though a signing within days was possible.

Unlike the Obama administration, which paid Iran billions of dollars, including $1.7 billion in cash, there will be no financial transactions this time.
