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.

When asked directly whether Iran had agreed to halt uranium enrichment, Trump replied, “Yes.”

Pressed again, he repeated, “Yes,” before adding, “Are you surprised?” Trump then said, “I’m not surprised by anything.”

It’s good news that the Strait of Hormuz has now reopened.

This must be a long lasting and workable solution, without tolls or restrictions on routes.

Today we announced our joint plan with France and other international partners to protect freedom of navigation.

We need to see a return to peace and stability, and a permanent ceasefire.

We're going to get ⁠it together.

We're going ​to go in with Iran, ​at a nice leisurely pace, and go down and start excavating ​with big machinery... We'll ​bring it back to the United States.

Talks over a lasting agreement will “probably” be held this weekend, Trump said.

“Most of the main points are finalized. It’ll go pretty quickly,” Trump added.

Asked if he would travel to Pakistan in case of an agreement, Trump said, “I may.”

The Iranians want to meet. They want to make a deal. I think a meeting will probably take place over the weekend.

I think we will get a deal in the next day or two.

At the same time, he stressed that Israeli strikes in Lebanon must end as part of Thursday’s ceasefire, saying, “Israel has to stop. They can't continue to blow buildings up. I am not gonna allow it."

Negotiations do not mean, nor will they ever mean, relinquishing any right, nor conceding any principle, nor undermining the sovereignty of this homeland.

Thousands of Lebanese we have lost—these are our sons—we will not forget them.

I will not allow a single Lebanese person to die after today, nor the continued bleeding of my people and nation, for the sake of the interests of others' influence or the calculations of the axes of near or far powers.

We all stand before a new stage, which is the stage of transition from working to stop the firing to working on permanent agreements that preserve the rights of our people, the unity of our land, and the sovereignty of our homeland.

Do not allow the doubting and treacherous voices to sow division among you, and do not be dragged behind those who exploit your emotions to build his glory at the expense of your stability.
