Donald Trump has said he told his representatives not to rush into any deal with Iran, adding that the US blockade on Iranian ships on the Strait of Hormuz would “remain in full force and effect” until an agreement to end the war was reached.
Tehran has not publicly committed to giving up its uranium – a key demand of Trump’s, but the US president wrote on Truth Social on Sunday that talks were progressing and the US relationship with Iran had become more professional and productive.
“They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a nuclear weapon or bomb”, the president wrote.
It came after Trump on Saturday said that a deal, including reopening the Strait, has been “largely negotiated”, with leaks of the draft details showing significant progress has been made.
Iran’s Fars news agency reported that it would remain under Iran’s management and dismissed Trump’s announcement of reopening the Strait as “incomplete and inconsistent with reality.”
