US President Donald Trump has reaffirmed that the US will maintain its blockade on Iran in “full force” until a deal is reached. The statement comes as negotiations between the US and Iran appear to be nearing an agreement.

According to reports, the US and Iran have agreed in principle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil supplies. A senior US official has confirmed this development.

Details of the proposed deal are still emerging, but it is reported that Trump has stated that the agreement would largely be negotiated by his team. The exact terms of the deal remain unclear.

The blockade on Iran, which was imposed in 2018, has had significant economic and diplomatic implications for both countries. The US has maintained its stance on the blockade, citing concerns over Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence.

As negotiations continue, it is expected that further developments will be announced in the coming days.
