According to IRGC-owned Fars News, Donald Trump's recent claim on Truth Social that the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous condition and that an agreement is being prepared for signing is baseless. Investigations by Fars reporters indicate that, based on the latest communications, should a potential agreement be reached, the Strait of Hormuz will remain under Iranian management. Although Iran has agreed to allow the number of passing vessels to return to pre-war levels, this does not signify free passage to the pre-war status. The management of the strait—including route determination, timing, passage procedures, and permit issuance—will remain exclusively under the discretion of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Additionally, Trump had previously declared negotiations on Iran's nuclear program as a condition for any agreement, but no commitment has been made by Iran, and the nuclear file has not been discussed at this stage. American officials have reportedly acknowledged in messages to Iran that Trump's tweets are promotional and intended for domestic consumption.
