Trump rushes into Situation Room as Iran faces NUCLEAR reckoning

By PHILLIP NIETO, US POLITICAL REPORTER Published: 16:06, 29 May 2026 | Updated: 16:29, 29 May 2026 Donald Trump has announced he is in the Situation Room to make a 'final determination' on if he will sign a nuclear agreement with Iran. Trump is demanding that Iran vow never to pursue a nuclear weapon, hand over its entire stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as conditions for signing a deal. In the post, Trump said his 'amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade' of the oil passageway would now be lifted, telling stranded crews they could start 'heading home' to their families. 'Say HELLO to your wives, husbands, parents, and families from me, your favorite President!' Trump wrote.  The President claimed 'underwater mine sweepers' had already destroyed numerous water mines in the area, and demanded Iran remove or detonate any that remain.  Trump also asserted that enriched material he called 'Nuclear Dust,' buried beneath mountains would be unearthed and destroyed by the US military in coordination with regime and the International Atomic Energy Agency. He insisted that 'no money will be exchanged, until further notice,' before heading into the Situation Room to make his final decision.  Trump's latest comments are the clearest sign yet that the US and Iran may be close to a deal.
