US President Donald Trump has tempered expectations regarding a potential deal with Iran, emphasizing that the United States will not rush into an agreement. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that the blockade on Iranian ports will remain until a formal agreement is certified and signed. He instructed his negotiators to proceed carefully, noting that time is on their side. Trump contrasted the current negotiations with the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which he criticized as a detrimental agreement that allowed Iran to pursue nuclear weapons. Despite his cautious tone, Trump acknowledged that relations with Tehran are becoming more constructive, asserting that Iran must not develop nuclear capabilities. Behind the scenes, reports indicate that a memorandum for a 60-day ceasefire between the US and Iran is in the final stages, which would tie concessions to verifiable actions. If successful, this deal could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, easing global energy market pressures, and set the stage for negotiations aimed at dismantling Iran's nuclear program.
