Trump said the United States is only semi-negotiating with Iran as Tehran demands sanctions relief, asset releases and compensation before reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, head of the Supreme National Security Council, demanded a full withdrawal of foreign forces from the region as a condition for opening the Strait of Hormuz.
- Beyond troop withdrawal, Zolghadr demanded the lifting of all sanctions, the unfreezing of Iranian assets, and compensation for war damages, while requiring an end to conflicts in Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, and Yemen.
- Trump confirmed on Sunday he is only "semi-negotiating" with Iran, stating the country is "low-keying it" while maintaining the blockade and economic pressure.
- The Supreme National Security Council maintains it will not retreat from these demands, whether in war or negotiations, complicating potential deals and suggesting continuation of the status quo.
- According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump is laying groundwork to declare victory if the Strait of Hormuz opens, though he suggested willingness to walk away without a nuclear deal.
