The diplomatic rift deepened as Trump signaled that the future of peace talks hinges entirely on this inspection protocol. To back his position, he noted that the United States will keep naval assets stationed near the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining the capability to reimpose a port blockade if necessary, though he characterized such action as unlikely. On Monday, approximately 19 million barrels of oil transited the strategic waterway.
Simultaneously, the U.S. Treasury has begun a 60-day sanctions waiver period as part of a nascent peace deal. Trump clarified that the released funds will be held in a U.S.-controlled escrow account. These assets are restricted to the purchase of American food and medical supplies, including corn, wheat, and soybeans. Framing the move as a response to an urgent humanitarian crisis, the President stated that this aid is essential to support the Iranian people.
