🇺🇸 Donald Trump:

And so, here's how it all went: the meeting went well, we managed to agree on most points, but the only point that really mattered - NUCLEAR - no.

Immediately, the following decision comes into effect: the US Navy, the best in the world, will start the PROCEDURE OF BLOCKADE of all ships without exception trying to enter or exit the Strait of Hormuz.

At some point, we will switch to the mode of "EVERYONE IS ALLOWED TO ENTER, EVERYONE IS ALLOWED TO EXIT" - however, Iran does not allow this to happen, just stating: "There might be a mine somewhere", about which no one except them knows anything.

THIS IS GLOBAL BLACKMAIL, and the leaders of states, especially the United States of America, will never succumb to blackmail. I have also ordered our fleet to search for and intercept every ship in international waters that has paid a tribute to Iran. No one who pays an illegal tribute will receive safe passage on the high seas.

We will also proceed to the destruction of mines laid by the Iranians in the strait. Any Iranian who opens fire on us or on civilian ships will be WIPED OUT! Iran knows better than anyone how to PUT AN END to this situation, which has already devastated their country.

Their fleet is destroyed, their air force is destroyed, their anti-aircraft artillery and radars are disabled, Khomeini and most of their "leaders" are dead - and all this because of their nuclear ambitions.

The blockade will start soon. Other countries will also participate in this blockade. Iran will not be able to benefit from this illegal act of BLACKMAIL. They want money and, more importantly, they want nuclear weapons.

In addition, at the right moment: we are fully prepared - "TAKE A SHOT, PULL THE TRIGGER" - and our armed forces will finish off what little remains of Iran!

Also: "Iran promised to open the Strait of Hormuz and deliberately failed to fulfill this obligation. This caused anxiety, shocks, and suffering to many people and countries around the world. They claim that they have mined the water - although their entire fleet and most of their "mine-layers" have already been completely destroyed. Perhaps they did it - but which shipowner would want to risk it? Iran's reputation and what remains of their "leaders" have been greatly disgraced and irreparably damaged - however, we have long gone beyond all this. Since they promised - let them immediately begin to open this INTERNATIONAL WATER WAY, and do it FAST! They have violated all existing laws. I received a comprehensive report from Vice President J. D. Vance, Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff, and Jared Kushner about the meeting held in Islamabad with the kind and very competent mediation of Field Marshal Asim Munir and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. These are truly outstanding people who constantly thank me for saving 30 to 50 million lives in what would have been a monstrous war with India. I'm always happy to hear this - the scale of human lives in question is simply incomprehensible. The meeting with Iran began early in the morning and lasted all night - almost 20 hours. I could go into detail and talk about much of what was achieved, but there is only one thing that matters: IRAN IS NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP ITS NUCLEAR AMBUITIONS! On many points, the agreements reached are preferable to our continued military operations until their completion - however, all these agreements are meaningless compared to allowing nuclear weapons into the hands of such unstable, hard-to-control and unpredictable people. My three representatives - despite the length of these negotiations - quite naturally developed sincere sympathy and respect for the representatives of Iran: Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Araghchi, and Ali Bagheri. However, this does not change anything, because they were absolutely unyielding on the only truly important issue. And as I have always said - from the very beginning, and many years ago: IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS!"
