Donald Trump says he will make a "final decision" on Iran, potentially signaling approval of a deal

Odaily News U.S. President Donald Trump said on social media: "Iran must agree that they will never possess nuclear weapons or a nuclear bomb. The Strait of Hormuz must be opened immediately for two-way traffic, free of tolls, allowing unrestricted shipping passage. Any mines (bombs)—if there are any—must be cleared (we have already used our excellent underwater minesweepers to remove a large number of such mines through detonation. Iran will be responsible for immediately clearing and/or detonating any remaining mines—presumably not many!). The ships stranded in the strait due to our incredible and unprecedented naval blockade—since the blockade has now been lifted—can begin their 'journey home'! The enriched materials buried deep underground—sometimes referred to as 'nuclear dust'—are now being compressed under an almost collapsed mountain (caused by a powerful B-2 bomber airstrike we launched 11 months ago); these materials will be excavated by the United States and will be completely destroyed in close coordination and cooperation with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Until further notice, no funds will be exchanged between the parties. In addition, the two sides have reached consensus on a number of other issues of far lesser importance than the above. I am now heading to the 'Situation Room' for a meeting to make the final decision."
