US warnings to ships continue after Trump says blockade will lift – IRGC media
IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency said US military warnings to vessels were continuing despite President Donald Trump’s remarks that the naval blockade affecting ships in the Strait of Hormuz “will now be lifted.”
Tasnim wrote that mariners had said CENTCOM warnings related to stopping Iranian ships were still continuing, even after Trump said vessels caught in the strait because of the US blockade could begin the process of “heading home.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran must agree never to obtain a nuclear weapon, the Strait of Hormuz must be opened immediately without tolls and with unrestricted shipping in both directions, and remaining mines must be removed or destroyed.
Trump also said Iran’s enriched nuclear material would be recovered by the United States, in coordination with the Islamic Republic and the International Atomic Energy Agency, and destroyed.
He made the remarks before heading to the Situation Room to make a final determination on the possible agreement but left the meeting without any decision.
