There can be no mistakes!”<\/p>\n The president said the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports would remain in effect until “an agreement is reached, certified, and signed.”<\/p>\n According to MS Now, the deal being negotiated would open the Strait of Hormuz, end the hostilities, unfreeze certain Iranian assets and guarantee further negotiations to curb Tehran’s nuclear program. <\/p>\n Trump said in the Truth Social post that Iran “must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb.”<\/p>\n
