Despite Iran previously stating that its nuclear program and its ability to develop nuclear weapons would not be discussed during the first round of talks with the United States, President Donald Trump said today that the regime has agreed to nuclear inspections. However, The Jerusalem Post reports that Iran has not agreed to any such arrangement.
Trump also said in an early morning social media post that the United States would leave ships in the Strait of Hormuz in case it becomes necessary to reimpose its blockade of Iranian ports.
“This will insure (sic) ‘Nuclear Honesty,'” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations,” he added.
“Based on this and other major concessions being made by Iran, I have agreed to allow the Hormuz Strait to remain OPEN, with no further Naval Blockade. However, all ships are remaining in place should it be necessary to reinstitute the Blockade, which seems, at this point, highly unlikely,” he continued.
Trump, in a second Truth Social post, also stated that a “record” of oil flowed through the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Iran has neither held a meeting with International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi in Switzerland nor plans for the UN nuclear watchdog to inspect Iran’s damaged nuclear facilities, a foreign ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday.
At the same time, Israeli and Lebanese negotiators have continued meeting amid further flare-ups between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Hezbollah. Today, the IDF fired warning shots at approaching Hezbollah terrorists in one of the security zones in southern Lebanon.
Additional shots were fired after the warnings were ignored, and at least one operative was reportedly hit. Hezbollah has claimed that the incident violates the ongoing truce.
As conflicting reports continue, The Fellowship and our supporters pray for wisdom and strength for both U.S. and Israeli leaders, that they may reach an agreement that will result in true shalom, peace, for the entire region.
