Published May 29, 2026 Updated May 29, 2026 08:17pm

In a post on Truth Social, Trump has listed his demands regarding a peace deal with Iran.

“Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb,” he stated, along with assertions that the Strait of Hormuz is to be “immediately open, no tolls” and all mines to be terminated.

He added that 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!’”

Trump also called for the unearthing and destruction of enriched material in coordination with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

“Other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to,” he added.
