Despite Iran announcing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the US blockade remains in full force, Trump has said in a Truth Social post.
"THE NAVAL BLOCKADE WILL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AS IT PERTAINS TO IRAN, ONLY, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS OUR TRANSACTION WITH IRAN IS 100% COMPLETE," he said.
Trump said that negotiations for a peace deal "SHOULD GO VERY QUICKLY IN THAT MOST OF THE POINTS ARE ALREADY NEGOTIATED."
