Trump Lists Five Conditions As He Prepares Final Decision On Iran Peace Deal

Speaking from the White House Situation Room, Trump confirmed that negotiations with Iran are “largely complete” but stressed that the deal will only move forward if Tehran agrees to all five conditions. The announcement comes amid heightened tensions following months of conflict and fragile ceasefire efforts.

The Five Conditions

• Trump’s administration has listed the following requirements:
• Iran must agree never to build or acquire nuclear weapons.
• Enriched uranium stockpiles must be eliminated under international oversight.
• The Strait of Hormuz must be reopened for global shipping and energy flows.
• Tehran must end support for proxy militias destabilizing the Middle East.
• Iran must accept stricter international monitoring and verification measures.

Negotiation Status

• U.S. officials say the framework is 95% complete, but final signatures are pending from Trump and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
• Trump emphasized that negotiators should not rush, declaring “time is on our side.”
• The U.S. naval blockade of Iran will remain until a deal is finalized.

Political Reactions

• Supporters argue Trump’s conditions ensure a tougher, enforceable deal compared to the 2015 nuclear agreement.
• Critics warn the uncompromising stance risks prolonging instability and question whether Iran will comply.
• Global oil markets remain volatile as the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global oil passes, stays contested.
