President
Trump said that he planned to meet in the White House Situation Room on Friday
“to make a final determination” on a potential cease-fire deal with Iran. In a
social media post, he again insisted Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz, pledge
never to develop a nuclear bomb and allow the United States to remove Iran’s
enriched uranium.
There was
no immediate response from Iran, which has publicly resisted limits on its
nuclear program. In recent days, the sides have exchanged fire, and Mr. Trump
has repeatedly threatened a return to full-scale war.
In his
post, Mr. Trump also signaled that a deal would include the United States
lifting its naval blockade, which had targeted Iranian ships and ports, to
allow the strait, a crucial waterway for oil and gas shipping, to reopen.
“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.
U.S.
officials said on Thursday that the proposed
deal would extend the cease-fire to pave the way to more talks on
Iran’s nuclear program. The officials, who were not authorized to speak
publicly, were granted anonymity to discuss the U.S. view of the current
negotiations.
Should an
agreement be finalized, it could give Mr. Trump an off-ramp from a war that has
driven up oil prices and grown deeply unpopular at
home. It could also eventually allow Iran to regain access to frozen
overseas assets and
provide a route for Tehran to get billions of dollars of oil revenue flowing
again.
While
Iran made no immediate comment on Mr. Trump’s social media post, Iran’s lead
negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, struck a hard-line tone earlier on
Friday, saying his country had “no trust in guarantees or words.”
