Trump: The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear “Dust,” created by our great B2 Bombers - No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form. This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, either, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah situation in an appropriate manner. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!

(no money will exchange hands?)

What about $6b or even $20B ?

SENIOR IRANIAN OFFICIAL TELLS REUTERS, WITHOUT GIVING TIMELINE, UNFREEZING OF IRANIAN ASSETS HAS BEEN PART OF AGREEMENT TO OPEN STRAIT OF HORMUZ

Hands will exchange money mr president)

TRUMP: IRAN, WITH HELP OF U.S.A., HAS REMOVED, OR IS REMOVING, ALL SEA MINES

Iran State Media: According to Iranian source, Iran set three conditions for the passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

1. Ships must be commercial, military ships are prohibited, and neither the ships nor their cargo should be related to hostile countries. (They allowed US ships as well fyi)

2. Ships must pass through the route designated by Iran (nothing on toll for now, unclear)

3. The passage of vessels must be coordinated with the Iranian forces responsible for this passage; just as CENTCOM had confirmed the management of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps over the Strait of Hormuz before the war began.

More: if the naval blockade continues, it will be considered a violation of the ceasefire and the passage route of the Strait of Hormuz will be closed.

(It can be just domestic posturing from Iran and also remember trump said it will be over soon as they are getting close to a deal so watch ceasefire deadline)

On the "Ships must pass through the route designated by Iran"

Over 800 oil tankers are currently stranded in the Gulf area.
- The strait is a 3-lane highway merging into 1.
- 400 loaded tankers want OUT.
- Only ~100 empty tankers are willing to come IN.

Even if everything goes perfectly —
Tanker out to Asia: 25 days.
Return trip empty: 25 days.
Then reload and sail again: AlaliQasem

Iranian officials: Ships can transit the Strait of Hormuz after paying a toll - Fox News.

TRUMP: I EXPECT AN IRAN DEAL IN A DAY OR TWO - AXIOS

TRUMP: THE IRAN MEETING IS LIKELY HAPPENING OVER THE WEEKEND - AXIOS

Reality check: Multiple U.S. officials and other sources briefed on the negotiations have told Axios that while significant progress has been made, and the U.S. and Iran are now closing in on a three-page peace plan, gaps still remain on critical issues.

Trump, who has held at least one direct call with an Iranian official in recent days, is clearly feeling optimistic- Axios

Iran FM Spox: The naval blockade by the United States is considered a violation of the ceasefire, and Iran will take the necessary reciprocal action

So from two Iranian State Media, one said ^ (maybe translation issue)

Another one said: If the naval blockade continues, the Islamic Republic will also take reciprocal and necessary actions

And both said: The enemy (US, or trump) has repeatedly made contradictory statements within a single day, aimed at media hype.

While quoting Iran FM Spox

(Imo this is still "if" case and they are talking to US till ceasefire)

IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY (SPOX?): THE CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT IS FOR TWO WEEKS, AND THERE IS NO TALK OF EXTENDING IT - AL JAZEERA

traders trying to trade every headline:

Senior Iranian official to Reuters:

-Keeping the Strait of Hormuz open is conditional on adherence to iran-U.S. ceasefire terms

-Significant differences between Iran-U.S. remain, including on nuclear issues, serious talks required

-A preliminary deal could be reached in the coming days, with the possibility of extending the ceasefire

-Such a preliminary deal could create space for talks on lifting sanctions, securing compensation for war damages

-Iran is ready to assure the world about the peaceful nature of its nuclear work if its demands are met

IRGC Navy says SoH is still closed and opening the Strait will be at the order of supreme leader and 'not some idiot'.

More: one source reported similar VHF broadcast today (so two sources saying this in total)

At least eight oil tankers raced toward the Strait of Hormuz in the hours after Iran’s foreign minister said the vital waterway was fully open to shipping (we soon see what happens)

Panic?

(was tracking one cargo vessel and just now looks like it got blocked)

(Wait for final confirmation though)
