- Trump stated the agreement includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's commitment not to develop or acquire nuclear weapons.
- Iranian officials, however, denied a final agreement had been reached, with the foreign ministry emphasizing ongoing negotiations and Iran's refusal to compromise on its red lines.
