Saturday, May 30, 2026 - President Donald Trump has claimed that the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz “will now be lifted” as part of a proposed agreement with Iran, ahead of high-level talks expected at the White House.
In a lengthy post shared on Truth Social, Trump outlined
what he described as key terms of a possible deal between Washington and
Tehran, including Iran agreeing not to develop nuclear weapons and reopening
the crucial oil shipping route.
“Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon
or Bomb,” Trump wrote. “The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls,
for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions.” The former US president
also claimed that all sea mines in the area would be removed, saying American
forces had already detonated several of them.
“All water mines (bombs), if any, will be terminated,” he
said. “Iran will complete the immediate removal and/or detonation of any mines
that are left.” Trump added that ships affected by what he described as an
“unprecedented Naval Blockade” could begin returning home.
“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!’” he wrote. The proposal reportedly also includes discussions
on sanctions relief, humanitarian aid deliveries and the release of frozen
Iranian assets, although Trump stressed that “no money will be exchanged until
further notice.”
