Trump sets Friday Situation Room meeting for Iran nuclear deal decision

President Donald Trump announced Thursday he will convene in the White House Situation Room on Friday to make a final determination on a nuclear deal with Iran, posting a list of conditions the deal must meet on Truth Social.

The announcement places U.S.-Iran nuclear talks at a potential turning point, as Trump moved to personally lead the final deliberations on a framework that would constrain Iran's nuclear program.

Trump, writing on Truth Social, said he was proceeding directly to the Situation Room to decide the deal's terms, the Korea Times reported. He listed several conditions that must be included in any agreement.

"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," Trump wrote in the post.

Among the conditions Trump cited, Iran must agree not to develop nuclear weapons. The Strait of Hormuz must be reopened and sea mines cleared from the waterway, he wrote. A U.S. blockade on Iran must also be lifted, and the United States would remove and destroy Iran's highly enriched uranium under the terms he described.

Trump stated that no money would be exchanged between the two nations in the near term. He noted that certain lower-priority items had already been agreed upon between the parties, though he did not specify which ones.

Under the framework Trump outlined, Iran would commit to forgo nuclear weapons, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and remove sea mines from the waterway; the United States, in turn, would lift its blockade and remove and destroy Iran's highly enriched uranium.
