Trump said a formal signing and press conference are expected before the agreement goes to Congress, while shipping through the Strait of Hormuz resumes and Russia sanctions could tighten.
U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States and Iran have reached a deal focused on ensuring Iran never obtains nuclear weapons, marking a shift from an earlier draft-stage description that had emphasized limited low-level uranium enrichment for civilian use under caps and safeguards. Trump said a formal signing and press conference are planned in the coming days before the agreement is submitted to Congress. Trump also said shipping through the Strait of Hormuz was resuming and could be fully open and toll-free by Friday, linking the diplomatic progress to a key global oil transit route. He added that the United States may soon impose tougher sanctions on Russia as oil-related waivers expire. Earlier remarks had described the agreement as allowing capped civilian enrichment, tying any sanctions relief and related economic benefits to Iranian compliance, imposing no new sanctions on Iran, and ruling out U.S. investment in Iran. Trump had also said U.S.-Iran relations had normalized and that the deal text would be released and discussed publicly. The latest comments suggest the negotiations have moved from a draft framework toward formalization, though full implementation details remain to be seen.
