Iran has clarified it will not discuss its nuclear program until the United States fulfills its commitments under a recently confirmed agreement, i24NEWS reports. The statement comes as President Trump confirmed the completion of a peace deal with Iran, lifting the naval blockade and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has signaled a firm precondition for nuclear negotiations following the confirmed US-Iran deal, according to a report by Amichai Stein and Barak Batch of i24NEWS. The Islamic Republic stated it will not discuss its nuclear program until the United States fulfills its obligations under the agreement announced by President Trump early Monday.
The agreement, which Trump confirmed earlier tonight, includes a ceasefire in Lebanon, the removal of the American naval blockade, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has confirmed the deal but asserted it will not begin its commitments before Friday, as i24NEWS reports. The nuclear precondition marks the first specific conditionality Tehran has publicly attached to the emerging framework, which The Zioneer reported as nearing finalization at 00:36 Jerusalem.
The gap between the announcement of the deal and Iran's stated timeline for implementation remains a key open question. Israeli officials have not yet commented on the nuclear precondition.
