President Trump outlined his non-negotiable conditions for any potential Iran deal during a Friday briefing ahead of a White House Situation Room meeting. The terms included an immediate ban on Iranian nuclear weapons, the instantaneous reopening of the Strait of Hormuz without tolls, the removal of underwater mines, the destruction of enriched nuclear material unearthed from buried sites, and a complete suspension of financial transactions until further notice.

According to Trump’s posted red lines, Iran must commit to never developing nuclear weapons or bombs. The Strait of Hormuz must open immediately for unrestricted two-way shipping traffic with no tolls. Any remaining water mines would be detonated by Iranian forces under U.S. oversight, as the United States had previously eliminated numerous such devices through naval operations. Ships stranded in the strait due to a recent naval blockade could resume their journeys after the lifting of restrictions.

Additionally, enriched nuclear material—referred to as “nuclear dust”—buried beneath collapsed terrain following a prior U.S. military action would be excavated and destroyed in coordination with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. No monetary exchanges would occur until compliance was verified.

Trump confirmed he would convene a two-hour Situation Room session to finalize his stance on extending the fragile ceasefire. The Associated Press reported that no final decision had been reached after the meeting, and Iran stated the agreement remained incomplete. A tentative accord would extend the ceasefire by 60 days while new negotiations address Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf countered via social media with a defiant statement: “Missiles are how Iran seeks concessions, while dialogue only clarifies them,” adding that Tehran takes action rather than relying on guarantees or promises. Trump’s conditions explicitly rejected Obama-era diplomatic approaches, emphasizing that Iran would receive no benefits until it demonstrated adherence to the terms, while U.S. leverage remained intact.
