Summary
Trump said the US will keep its blockade of Iranian ports fully in force until a “Final Deal” is reached, tying any rollback to a broader settlement.
In a social-media post, he said Israel and Iran are both seeking an immediate ceasefire and pressed both sides to stop military action.
The blockade is being used as leverage to force an end to hostilities, with Trump casting ongoing peace negotiations as vulnerable to disruption.
The statement signals Washington intends to sustain direct pressure on Iran even as it publicly pushes both combatants toward a negotiated halt in fighting.
