President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Iran has 'fully and completely' agreed to the highest-level nuclear inspections for the long term, and that U.S.-controlled escrow funds will be used solely for food and medical purchases. Trump said this, along with 'other significant concessions,' convinced him to keep the Strait of Hormuz open without a renewed naval blockade, though naval assets remain in place.
President Donald Trump posted a lengthy statement on Truth Social on Tuesday afternoon, providing the most detailed public update on the US-Iran nuclear agreement framework since it was first confirmed last week.
Trump stated that Iran has agreed to the 'highest level of nuclear inspections for a long time in the future (forever!!!)', describing this as a guarantee of 'nuclear integrity.' He added that if Tehran had not agreed to this, 'there would be no further negotiations.' The president tied this concession directly to the decision to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, reversing earlier threats of a naval blockade.
Crucially, Trump detailed the financial mechanism: funds and/or sanctions relief released by the US Treasury will be deposited into a US-controlled escrow account and used exclusively to purchase food and medical supplies from the United States, including corn, wheat, and soybeans from American farmers. He framed this as a humanitarian imperative, saying Iran is in 'desperate need' of these goods.
The statement comes after a series of conflicting signals from Washington and Tehran, including earlier Israeli reports that naval assets would remain in place pending Iranian behavior. Trump's language indicates he views the deal as largely complete, despite skepticism from some quarters about Iran's nuclear compliance — a subject The Zioneer has covered extensively in recent days.
