- The strait is open
- We have set up a mechanism for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open
- We want to make sure to have proper coordination
- Technical talks will continue in the weeks to come
- We have laid a very good foundation for a successful final deal
- We want a regional ceasefire
- Iran has agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back
- Inspections could begin possibly this week, as soon as today
- We have established a mechanism to halt escalation and clashes in Lebanon
- We want a regional ceasefire, this will be an ongoing conversation
I’d be more inclined to want to hear what Iran has to say about all of this. Always remember, it takes two to tango. And typically, we always see the US talk up things that the other side may not necessarily have agreed to. Just think back to the many trade deals with China over the years.
While the US claims that the strait is open, ship tracking data is yet to corroborate with that story.
As for IAEA inspection on Iran’s uranium levels, this can be easily circumvented. Because the uranium is being diluted on-site rather than removed from the country, the process is technically reversible.
And just for some added context, IAEA inspectors have not had verification access to Iranian nuclear sites since February 2026. The supposed technical talks in Switzerland over the coming days/weeks are supposed to lay out a timetable for that. So to say that inspections can begin “as soon as today” is quite the lie.
Going by that, you can sort of tell how stretched the truth is from all of his remarks.
