The plan was for Iran to admit they wanted peace. That was the plan. Instead, they lied to the world while begging for a deal. President Trump saw right through the deception on Monday. He called off a massive military strike over the weekend. He chose diplomacy, but he left the threat of force right behind him. Now he is exposing their double game for everyone to see.
According to reports, Trump revealed that Iranian officials asked for a meeting. Some would say they begged. Talks started with more scheduled soon. Then they turned around and said nothing was happening. Trump wrote on Truth Social that they claim they are only dealing with Oman. He called their leadership “unbelievably duplicitous.” This is not a guess. It is what they did. They ask for talks then deny them publicly.
Trump made it clear who holds the power in the region. He said the Strait of Hormuz is under total American control. He called it “The United States Wall of Steel.” Per the Washington Times, he insists nothing gets through unless a deal is done.
According to him, nothing reaches Iran without our permission, and no passage occurs unless a Deal or Total Surrender is achieved. The U.S. Navy blockade stays until they surrender or sign. There is no middle ground.Trump reveals the one condition Iran must meet before talks begin covers the wider picture.
Trump told reporters this is Iran’s last chance. According to the Washington Times, he expects a smooth path to denuclearization. He laid out the steps clearly. The first phase opens the straits. The second phase removes their nuclear weapons.
He stated that the initial phase involves opening the straits, while the second phase covers denuclearization, a process expected to take a little while. He added, “We’re very strong on it. They cannot have a nuclear weapon.” This is non-negotiable.
Iranian officials are trying to spin a different story. Esmail Baghaei told reporters they only speak with Oman about shipping routes. He claimed the strait stays closed until the U.S. ends its aggression. But the U.S. views their old memo as dead. The New York Post reports Trump is ready to move forward without them. He knows they are hiding the truth. He knows they want a deal but fear admitting it.
