IRAN HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE STRAIT OF IRAN IS FULLY OPEN AND READY FOR FULL PASSAGE. THANK YOU!

The Strait of Hormuz is completely open and ready for business and full passage, but the naval blockade will remain in full force and effect as it pertains to Iran only, until such time as our transaction with Iran is 100% complete!

This process should go very quickly in that most of the points are already negotiated.

We agreed to a temporary ceasefire in Lebanon at Trump's request.

We achieved great accomplishments. We created for the first time a long security zone along the entire northern border.

This strip completely removes the close threat of invasion. We destroyed nearly 90% of the missile and rocket stockpiles.

Hezbollah today is a shadow of itself. We haven’t finished the job yet. This will not be achieved tomorrow. It requires patience and continuous effort.

For the first time in 43 years, Israel and Lebanon are talking directly. We will give an opportunity for a diplomatic and military solution. The road to peace is still long, but we have begun it.

Our one hand holds the weapon, our other hand is extended for peace.

One way or another, we will restore security to the residents of the North, and with God's help, we will act and we will succeed.

The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear “Dust,” created by our great B2 Bombers - No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form.

This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, either, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah situation in an appropriate manner.

Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!

Only non-military vessels can transit the Strait of Hormuz, through designated routes and with IRGC Navy approval.

Civilian ships must follow routes set by Iran’s Ports and Maritime Organization.

Guided-missile destroyer USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115) directs a merchant vessel to return to an Iranian port as it enforces the U.S. blockade, April 17.

Since commencement of the blockade, 19 ships have complied with direction from U.S. forces to turn around and return to Iran.

ZERO vessels have evaded U.S. forces during the blockade.

Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help.

I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL.

They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger!

Thank you to Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar for your great bravery and help!

Iran, with the help of the U.S.A., has removed, or is removing, all sea mines! Thank you!

Again! This deal is not tied, in any way, to Lebanon, but we will, MAKE LEBANON GREAT AGAIN!

Thank you to Pakistan and its Great Prime Minister and Field Marshall, two fantastic people!!!

A GREAT AND BRILLIANT DAY FOR THE WORLD!

During an air force support attack for ground forces yesterday, before the ceasefire came into effect, a suspicious building near forces in southern Lebanon was attacked.

Due to human error, the ammunition did not hit the target and fell near the forces.

No casualties, the incident is under investigation.

Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.

It will no longer be used as a weapon against the World!

Iran set three conditions for the passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz:

— The ships must be commercial, and military ships are prohibited; neither the ships nor their cargo should be related to hostile countries.

— The ships must pass through the route designated by Iran.

— The passage of vessels must be coordinated with the Iranian forces responsible for this passage; just as CENTCOM had confirmed the management of the IRGC over the Strait of Hormuz before the war began.

The Failing New York Times, FAKE NEWS CNN, and others, just don’t know what to do.

They are desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald J. Trump on the Iran situation, but just can’t find it.

Why don’t they just say, at the right time, JOB WELL DONE, MR. PRESIDENT, and start to gain back their credibility???

If the U.S. naval blockade continues, it will be considered a violation of the ceasefire, and the passage route of the Strait of Hormuz will be closed.

I can confirm that along with France, the UK will lead a multinational mission to protect freedom of navigation [in the Strait of Hormuz] as soon as conditions allow.

This will be strictly peaceful and defensive as a mission to reassure commercial shipping and support mine clearance.

We invite all nations with an interest in the free flow of global trade to join us. Some have already indicated their readiness to contribute.

Iran must end its nuclear program.

It must stop attacking Israel and the Gulf states.

And it must reopen the Strait of Hormuz reliably, permanently, and without any form of payment.
