United States President Donald Trump, on Tuesday announced a series of measures aimed at easing pressure on Iran, saying the country is facing a humanitarian crisis and has agreed to stringent nuclear inspections as part of ongoing negotiations with Washington.
In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump claimed that Iran had “fully and completely agreed” to long-term, high-level nuclear inspections, describing the arrangement as a guarantee of “nuclear honesty.”
He said the inspections were a key condition for continuing negotiations between the two countries.
Trump also revealed that he had agreed not to proceed with a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil shipping route, citing what he described as major concessions from Tehran.
The U.S. president further stated that funds and sanctioned relief approved by the U.S. Treasury would be placed in escrow under American control and used exclusively for the purchase of food and medical supplies from the United States.
According to Trump, the supplies would include agricultural products such as corn, wheat and soybeans.
Describing the situation in Iran as a humanitarian crisis, Trump said immediate assistance was necessary to prevent further hardship.
He added that negotiations between the two countries were progressing positively.
“Despite their protestations and false statements to the contrary, coupled with the drumbeat of the Fake News, which is doing everything possible to make the U.S. Victory as small and insignificant as possible, Iran has fully and completely agreed to the highest level of nuclear inspections long into the future (Infinity!!!). This will ensure “Nuclear Honesty.”
“If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations! Based on this and other major concessions being made by Iran, I have agreed to allow the Hormuz Strait to remain OPEN, with no further Naval Blockade.
“However, all ships are remaining in place should it be necessary to reinstitute the Blockade, which seems, at this point, highly unlikely.
“The Money and/or Sanctions that the U.S. Treasury is releasing goes into escrow, controlled by the U.S.A., and will be used for the purchase of food and medical supplies, exclusively from the United States, including Corn, Wheat, and Soybeans from our great American Farmers. These are things that are desperately needed by Iran.
“This is a humanitarian crisis, and I feel it is necessary to help, NOW, before it is too late. Talks are going well! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump said.
