President Donald Trump on Friday morning said he is meeting in the Situation Room "to make a final determination" after listing everything that Iran must do for him to approve a deal to end the war.
It was not immediately clear from Trump's statement on Truth Social which of his make-or-break conditions are already part of a preliminary agreement that U.S. and Iranian negotiators are currently working on to pause the three-month-old war.
Iran "must agree" to never have a nuclear weapon, and the Strait of Hormuz must be "immediately open" to unrestricted shipping traffic, Trump demanded in the post.
He also said that the retaliatory U.S. naval blockade against Iran in the Gulf of Oman "will now be lifted," though it was unclear if he meant that that step would only be taken if the prior conditions were met.
Trump's post additionally stated that the enriched material located at the site of last year's attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities will be "unearthed" by the U.S. "in close coordination and conjunction with the Islamic Republic of Iran, plus the International Atomic Energy Agency, and DESTROYED."
"No money will be exchanged, until further notice," Trump added. "Other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to."
"I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination," he said.
Read Trump's full post:
Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions. All water mines (bombs), if any, will be terminated (we have removed, through detonation, numerous such mines with our great underwater mine sweepers. Iran will complete the immediate removal and/or detonation of any mines that are left, which will not be many!). Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of "heading home!" Say HELLO to your wives, husbands, parents, and families from me, your favorite President! The enriched material, sometimes referred to as "Nuclear Dust," which is buried deep underground with virtually collapsed mountains, caused by our powerful B2 Bomber attack 11 months ago, sitting on top of it, will be unearthed by the United States (which, it is agreed, is the only Country, along with China, with the mechanical capability of doing so!), in close coordination and conjunction with the Islamic Republic of Iran, plus the International Atomic Energy Agency, and DESTROYED. No money will be exchanged, until further notice. Other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to. I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
