Trump claimed in his Truth Social post on Saturday that Iran had agreed not to seek a nuclear weapon, and that despite Iran’s demand for reparations for war damages, no money would change hands.
He also said that the deal would lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and implied that the U.S. would acquire and destroy Iran’s highly enriched uranium.
“At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States,” he wrote.
But Trump has repeatedly claimed a deal with Iran is imminent in recent months, only for the war to continue.
Axios reported last month that the first stage of the deal would be a 60-day Memorandum of Understanding that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and allow Iran to sell oil freely. Iran would agree not to pursue nuclear weapons as part of the agreement—which Iran has insisted has been its position all along—and U.S. forces would withdraw from the region after 60 days if all conditions are met.
