Trump says Iran accepted 'infinite' nuclear inspections; Strait of Hormuz open

US President Donald Trump announced that Iran has agreed to submit to the "highest level" of nuclear inspections for an "infinite" period, allowing the Strait of Hormuz to remain open without further naval blockade. However, a dispute emerged over the control of unfrozen Iranian assets.

What Trump said

In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated: "Iran has accepted fully and completely to submit to the highest-level nuclear inspections for a long period (infinite!). This will guarantee 'Nuclear Honesty'." Source: infobae He added that as a result, he agreed to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, though US vessels would remain in position if needed. Trump also claimed that 19 million barrels of oil passed through the strait on Monday, a record that drove down oil prices. Source: excelsiormx

The Iranian response

Iran's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, confirmed that the strait is "completely open for commercial vessels" with no tolls, at least for the 60-day preliminary ceasefire period.

Trump countered that the Iranians were "wrong" and that inspections will occur "in due time." Source: mileniomx

Disagreement on frozen assets

A key point of contention: Trump said unfrozen Iranian funds would be held in a US-controlled escrow account and used solely to buy American food and medical supplies. Source: infobae Bahreini insisted that "no entity or other party will have a say on how they are used," stating that Iran alone decides.
