President Donald Trump said the Iran deal “is expected to be signed tomorrow,” adding that “immediately after signing, the Strait of Hormuz will be OPEN TO ALL.”
“In due time, when everything calms down, we will go in there and dig out the nuclear dust buried deep beneath the mighty submerged granite mountains, thanks to our great B-2 bombers and their brilliant pilots, and destroy it, whether in Iran or the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president said that “we hope this whole process will be quick, easy and efficient,” but added that if it doesn't, “we have a final alternative.”
The memorandum of understanding being negotiated between the US and Iran stipulates that its signing will trigger a 60-day period for “technical” negotiations, a senior Trump administration official said on Friday.
While the memorandum outlines a number of key commitments Iran must meet — including dismantling its nuclear program, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. destruction of Iran's enriched nuclear material — the highly technical talks will focus on how to specifically implement and deliver on those items, the official said.
