Trump States No More Naval Blockade in Strait of Hormuz After Deal with Iran

Kathmandu. US President Donald Trump has said that there will be no further naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz after the current understanding with Iran.

Writing on the social media Truth Social, Trump said, 'The Strait of Hormuz will now remain open and there will be no further naval blockade.' However, he also said that military ships have been kept in place for use if necessary.

Trump also claimed that Iran has accepted the highest level of inspection of its nuclear program. According to him, 'Iran has accepted the highest level of nuclear inspection fully and without any conditions,' Trump added, 'If they had not agreed to this, there would have been no possibility of further talks.'

However, Iranian officials have not publicly confirmed such claims before. So far, Iran has stated that it has not made any new additional commitments.

Trump has said that the funds received from the sanctions exemption and frozen assets provided to Iran will be kept in a special escrow account. He said, 'Those funds will be kept in an escrow account under the control of America.'

According to him, the funds will only be used to purchase food and medicine. 'This money will only be used to purchase food items and medicine.' Trump claimed that Iran will purchase corn, wheat, and soybeans from America using these funds. He wrote, 'Iran will purchase corn, wheat, and soybeans produced by our great American farmers.'

Earlier, officials from the Trump administration had also said that the funds provided to Iran would ultimately be used to benefit the US agricultural sector. But Iran's central bank governor Abdolnaser Hemmati had recently said that Iran was not compelled to purchase agricultural products from America.
