U.S. President Donald Trump stated on May 24, 2026, that he has instructed his representatives not to rush into a deal with Iran, indicating that the U.S. blockade on Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz will remain in effect until a formal agreement is reached. Trump emphasized the importance of taking time to ensure that negotiations are thorough and accurate. He noted that the U.S. and Iran had made progress in discussions, but significant issues remain unresolved, including Iran's nuclear ambitions and the lifting of sanctions. Trump reiterated that Iran must not develop nuclear weapons, a point he has consistently made. Meanwhile, Iranian officials have expressed concerns over the U.S. blockade and the ongoing conflict in Lebanon. The proposed framework for a peace agreement is expected to unfold in three stages, addressing the war, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, and broader negotiations. Despite some progress, both sides acknowledge that further discussions are necessary.
