Trump Announces 'Final Determination' on Iran Deal via Truth Social, Outlines Rigid Terms
President Trump announced on Truth Social that he was convening a meeting in the White House Situation Room to make a 'final determination' on a potential peace deal with Iran. He outlined specific demands including that Iran 'will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb,' the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz without tolls, and the destruction of Iran's highly enriched uranium. The announcement came amid ongoing negotiations to extend a ceasefire and lift the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports. Trump's public disclosure of sensitive negotiation terms and his characterization of the demands as 'rigid, unyielding terms' represent a departure from traditional diplomatic practice of conducting such negotiations privately until finalized. This continues a pattern of conducting foreign policy through social media rather than established diplomatic channels.
