US President Donald Trump warned Iran on Wednesday that peace negotiations would end "immediately" if Tehran imposes tolls on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that Iran has informed the US that no tolls or insurance fees are being charged, and that any false reports would lead to an abrupt termination of talks.

Trump claimed on Tuesday that Iran has accepted inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), expressing he is "100%" certain they will occur. However, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Garibabadi stated on X that any discussion of inspections will only take place within a final agreement and after concrete steps to lift all sanctions.

The conflicting positions highlight the fragility of the memorandum of understanding signed last week to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and facilitate nuclear talks.
“"Irán ha informado a EE.UU. que, pese a los reportes malintencionados de las noticias falsas que dicen lo contrario, no se están cobrando peajes, costos de seguro ni ningún otro tipo de cargo sobre los buques que transitan por el estrecho de Ormuz. Si esta información fuera falsa, ¡las negociaciones terminarían de inmediato!"”
“"Destinaremos parte de sus fondos, que están bajo nuestro control total, a nuestros agricultores y ganaderos para la compra de maíz, trigo, soja y otros productos. Irán necesita alimentos urgentemente, y los compraremos para ellos exclusivamente en Estados Unidos."”
“"El viceministro iraní de Exteriores, Kazem Garibabadi, dijo en X que cualquier discusión sobre las inspecciones y otros asuntos relacionados con el programa nuclear solo se abordarán en el marco de un acuerdo definitivo y una vez que la otra parte adopte medidas concretas para levantar todas las sanciones."”
