Trump Falsely Claims Iran Agreed to Never Close Strait of Hormuz and Stop Uranium Enrichment

President Trump claimed that Iran had agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again and to permanently stop enriching uranium, stating a peace deal was 'basically done' and there were 'no sticking points at all' left in negotiations. Iranian officials immediately and forcefully contradicted these claims. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that all seven claims Trump made in one hour were false, asserting that Iran would not transfer its enriched uranium anywhere and that the Strait of Hormuz would not remain open if the US blockade continued. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei and other officials denied any agreement on uranium enrichment or unconditional passage through the strait. The contradiction was so complete that Iranian state media characterized Trump's statements as fabrications designed to mislead the American public about the actual status of negotiations.
