President Donald Trump said Iran has fully agreed to the highest-level nuclear inspections indefinitely, according to his statements published Tuesday. He said the deal allows the Strait of Hormuz to remain open without a naval blockade, though U.S. vessels stay in place. Sanction relief funds will be placed in a U.S.-controlled escrow account for purchasing food and medical supplies from American farmers, Trump added.
In a series of statements posted to Truth Social starting at 14:23 Tuesday, President Donald Trump provided new details on the emerging nuclear agreement with Iran, claiming Tehran has 'fully and completely' agreed to the highest-level nuclear inspections indefinitely. The latest update — which The Zioneer first tracked at 14:29 — adds that sanction relief funds will be deposited in a U.S.-controlled escrow account for purchasing food and medical supplies from American farmers. Trump said the Strait of Hormuz will remain open without a naval blockade, though U.S. vessels remain in place, calling the need to reimpose a blockade 'very unlikely.' He also confirmed that 19 million barrels of oil transited the strait on Monday — an all-time record.
Our reporting on this thread began at 14:23, with multiple versions published in quick succession. The initial iteration (v.2, 14:23) stated that Iran agreed to highest-level inspections for a 'long future period,' with funds held in a U.S.-controlled escrow account. Subsequent versions (v.3–v.8, all 14:23) saw Trump rejecting Tehran's denials as 'false protests and declarations,' accusing Iran of publishing 'fake news,' and confirming the record oil transit through Hormuz. By v.9–v.11 (14:23), The Zioneer reported that Tehran had 'fully and completely' signed on to indefinite inspections and a humanitarian escrow arrangement. The draft's dispatch body — noting Trump's statements attributed to him Tuesday afternoon — builds on this thread, citing the escrow mechanism as the key new detail.
As The Zioneer has reported since Friday, the framework of this deal — a 60-day ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, under what Trump has called an 'Islamabad Agreement' — has been unfolding over the past week. Our background reporting (published between June 12 and June 17) documented Trump's confirmation of the ceasefire, his order to reopen the strait, and his later warnings of 'unbelievable consequences' should Iran violate the terms. The current humanitarian escrow structure was not previously detailed.
What remains open: Iran's official position, which has publicly denied agreeing to permanent nuclear inspections or a U.S.-controlled escrow account, has not yet aligned with Trump's claims. The draft notes only Trump's statements, without independent confirmation from Tehran or international observers.
