US President Trumps Iran concessions spark skepticism and rejection in Tehran

Here is a rewritten version of the article in a neutral newsroom style:

Tehran, Iran – The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced that the Strait of Hormuz is once again restricted, following US President Donald Trump’s claims about securing concessions from Tehran. On Friday, Trump stated that Iran and the US would jointly remove enriched uranium from bombed nuclear sites and transfer it to the US, as well as stop enriching uranium on its soil. He also claimed that the Strait of Hormuz had been opened and would never be closed again.

In response, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf rejected all of Trump’s claims, stating that they were “lies” that did not win the war or advance negotiations. The IRGC later released a statement citing continued “acts of piracy and maritime theft under the so-called label of a blockade” by Washington as the reason for restricting the Strait.

Supporters of the Iranian establishment have expressed concerns about any major concessions, with some calling for clarification on Trump’s claims. A fan account on X attributed to Saeed Jalili, an ultrahardline member of the Supreme National Security Council, suggested that “dissent” may be at play and that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei must release a statement to confirm what is happening.

Iranian state media released a written statement from Khamenei on Saturday, but made no mention of the political drama unfolding hours earlier. State television hosts and analysts also harshly attacked Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for his tweet about the Strait of Hormuz being “declared completely open” during the ceasefire period.

Multiple sources have confirmed that Pakistan is continuing to mediate negotiations between Iran and other parties, but details remain unclear.
