President Trump declared the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and a framework for removing the nuclear threat, according to a report by The Zioneer. The announcement was made in a full statement issued early Sunday morning.
President Trump issued a full statement early Sunday declaring the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and outlining a framework for the removal of the nuclear threat from Iran. The announcement follows the cancellation of a planned major military strike on Iran, which Trump confirmed had been called off after a framework agreement was reached. The Zioneer published the full details of the statement at 05:39 Jerusalem time, providing the first comprehensive account of the twin elements of the declaration.
The thread of events unfolded rapidly from 05:10 Jerusalem time, when multiple outlets reported the cancellation of the strike and the framework deal. Channel 12 (N12) first reported Trump's agreement to cancel the attack. i24NEWS added that the deal includes lifting the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and removing the nuclear threat, with an Israeli commitment. Trump then issued a series of statements: first that the US was 'ready, prepared, and postured' for a massive strike; then that Israel had joined the commitment; and finally that Iran and other Middle Eastern states had requested the suspension. The Zioneer's own article at 05:39 provided the full statement, confirming the immediate opening of the strait and the framework for nuclear threat removal.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, President Trump has long threatened to take over the Strait of Hormuz if Iran endangered the waterway. In June 2026, Trump declared the US was 'taking over' the strategic strait. More recently, he warned Iran that closing the strait would mean 'you will not have a country.' The current framework appears to be the culmination of these threats and diplomatic efforts, including a reported Israeli commitment to the deal.
Specific terms of the nuclear threat removal framework have not yet been detailed. The agreement is contingent on a swift final deal, and it remains unclear whether the planned strike is definitively canceled or only suspended pending final agreement. The precise nature of the Israeli commitment also has not been spelled out.
