President Trump said Friday he will “make a final determination” on a deal with Iran that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, drop the US blockade of Iranian ports, and see the US digging out and destroying Iran’s leftover enriched uranium.

In a Truth Social post, Trump made clear he wants the US to get the “nuclear dust” to ensure Tehran cannot ever develop a nuclear weapon.

“The enriched material, sometimes referred to as ‘Nuclear Dust,’ which is buried deep underground with virtually collapsed mountains, caused by our powerful B2 Bomber attack 11 months ago, sitting on top of it, will be unearthed by the United States … in close coordination and conjunction with the Islamic Republic of Iran, plus the International Atomic Energy Agency, and DESTROYED,” he wrote on Truth Social post on Friday.

He also noted that “it is agreed” that the US “is the only Country, along with China, with the mechanical capability” of extracting the uranium.

In addition, he said, “Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb,” and the entire Strait of Hormuz “must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions,” laying out the list of terms included in the potential agreement.

“All water mines (bombs), if any, will be terminated (we have removed, through detonation, numerous such mines with our great underwater mine sweepers,” he said.

While Trump said he was headed to the Situation Room to make a determination on the agreement, he appeared to hint that a determination on lifting the blockade on Iranian ports had already been made.

“Trump further said, “ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of ‘heading home!’

“Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of ‘heading home!’” he said. “Say HELLO to your wives, husbands, parents, and families from me, your favorite President!”

Trump said that “no money will be exchanged, until further notice” — suggesting that economic relief measures may be taken with Iran in future negotiations.

The agreement, which the White House confirmed Thursday was under consideration, would then open a new phase of negotiations to further address Iran’s nuclear program.–
