Iran Peace Agreement: Tehran Rejects Trump’s Claims on Hormuz and Nuclear Deal

Iran Peace Agreement: Shortly after US President Donald Trump spoke about a possible agreement with Iran and said Tehran was "obligated" to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without charging fees, Iranian military-linked media responded.

They described his comments as "a mix of truth and lies" and said they do not match the draft terms being discussed in Tehran.

Trump peace deal with Iran: Iran’s Fars News Agency, which is connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), quoted senior Tehran officials who said Trump’s comments were "an attempt to portray a fabricated victory."

According to the report, which cited informed sources, the proposed agreement known as "commitment for commitment" is close to being approved in Iran, but no final decision has been reached.

Iran Peace Agreement: Trump: Strait of Hormuz Reopens, Ship Traffic Resumes

At a White House meeting about the conflict in West Asia, Trump said that naval restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for nearly 20 percent of global oil shipments, had ended and that ship traffic was returning to normal.

It was stated by Trump that the immediate removal and/or detonation of any remaining mines by Iran would be completed, and that ships held in the Strait by what was described as an unprecedented Naval Blockade - which would be lifted — could begin to head home, with greetings to their families conveyed by him as outgoing President.

He also said, "No money will be exchanged, until further notice," and claimed that "other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to."

US-Iran Negotiations: Iran To Reopen Hormuz Only on Its Terms, No Unconditional Deal

Donald Trump latest news: Iranian media repeated Tehran’s position, saying that "Iran’s arrangements for reopening Hormuz could include monitoring and inspection of ships, provision of services, and security measures.

The report denied that Tehran had agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without tolls or conditions, saying the draft does not include such a clause.

It stated that Iran would reopen the strait only after the blockade is lifted and on its own terms, which could include monitoring, inspections, maritime services, and security measures.

Iran’s Fars news agency dismissed Trump’s claim that Iran would dismantle or destroy its nuclear material, calling it baseless and noting that no such requirement exists in the draft memorandum being discussed.

The report also said that a full ceasefire in Lebanon, in line with Hezbollah’s position, is another key issue in the talks.

Iran Says Nuclear Material Claims Unfounded, Will Advance Talks Only on Its Terms

Iranian media, citing IRGC‑linked sources, said the MoU does not include any clause about destroying Tehran’s nuclear materials and called that claim completely unfounded.

The report said Iran would only move to the next stage of talks, including discussions on sanctions relief and the nuclear issue, if those conditions are met.

It also stated that any final agreement would follow the Islamic Republic’s red lines and its "complete distrust" of the United States.

US is Demanding Too Much During the Negotiations: Iran

Iran Peace Agreement: Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said he was frustrated with Washington’s stance in the talks.

According to AFP, which cited Iran’s foreign ministry, Araghchi told his Omani counterpart by phone that a final agreement could only happen if the US stopped making excessive demands and acted more consistently.

Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who took part in peace talks with the US in Pakistan last month, also voiced doubts.

Ghalibaf stated on X that reliance should be on actions, not words.

He also said that Iran’s leverage comes not “through talks, but through missiles,” highlighting the ongoing mistrust between the two countries.

Trump: US to Destroy Iran’s Buried Nuclear Material

Trump also raised a key issue in the talks: what to do with Iran’s highly enriched uranium, which is buried under damaged nuclear sites hit by US bombing last year. In his post, Trump said only the United States and China have the technical ability to recover it.

According to Trump, the enriched material, sometimes called ‘Nuclear Dust,’ buried beneath nearly collapsed mountains as a result of the B2 Bomber attack 11 months ago, will be unearthed by the United States.

He said the operation would happen “in close coordination and conjunction with the Islamic Republic of Iran, plus the International Atomic Energy Agency,” and that the material would then be “DESTROYED.”
