“Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions. All water mines (bombs), if any, will be terminated (we have removed, through detonation, numerous such mines with our great underwater mine sweepers. Iran will complete the immediate removal and/or detonation of any mines that are left, which will not be many!). Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of “heading home!” Say HELLO to your wives, husbands, parents, and families from me, your favorite President! The enriched material, sometimes referred to as “Nuclear Dust,” which is buried deep underground with virtually collapsed mountains, caused by our powerful B2 Bomber attack 11 months ago, sitting on top of it, will be unearthed by the United States (which, it is agreed, is the only Country, along with China, with the mechanical capability of doing so!), in close coordination and conjunction with the Islamic Republic of Iran, plus the International Atomic Energy Agency, and DESTROYED. No money will be exchanged, until further notice. Other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to. I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

“Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb.”
Iran's commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons was indeed part of the tentative MOU reached May 28, 2026, though final approval from Trump and Iran's supreme leader remained pending.

“we have removed, through detonation, numerous such mines with our great underwater mine sweepers”
The U.S. Navy does maintain mine countermeasure (MCM) capabilities and vessels in the Persian Gulf region. Claims of active mine removal operations in the Strait of Hormuz during a stated naval blockade are operationally plausible but have not been confirmed by public Pentagon statements as of available records. The specific claim of 'numerous' mines removed cannot be independently verified.

“Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted”
The US naval blockade was real, established April 13, 2026. The claim is accurate in substance; 'unprecedented' is debatable but the blockade's existence is confirmed.

“The enriched material, sometimes referred to as 'Nuclear Dust,' which is buried deep underground with virtually collapsed mountains, caused by our powerful B2 Bomber attack 11 months ago”
he B-2 strike (Operation Midnight Hammer, June 2025) is confirmed. The disputed elements are the term 'Nuclear Dust,' which has no recognized technical meaning, and the claim that enriched material remains physically recoverable underground.

“it is agreed, is the only Country, along with China, with the mechanical capability of doing so”
The claim that only the U.S. and China have the technical capability to excavate collapsed underground nuclear facilities is unverified and lacks a scientific basis. Russia also possesses significant deep excavation and nuclear materials recovery capabilities. This appears to be an unsupported assertion used to justify U.S. involvement, not a recognized technical consensus.

“No money will be exchanged, until further notice.”
This appears to reference ongoing disputes over frozen Iranian assets (estimated at $6-10 billion held in various accounts) and sanctions relief, which were central to prior nuclear negotiations. The phrase 'until further notice' is vague and does not constitute a verifiable policy commitment. The claim is directionally consistent with a hardline U.S. negotiating stance but is not a verifiable concluded agreement.
