- Trump says Strait of Hormuz deal is finalized
- Claims Lebanon situation is “separate” but addressed by US
- Says NATO offered assistance but was rejected
US President Donald Trump said the Strait of Hormuz is “completely open and ready for business,” adding that a broader agreement involving Iran has been reached and includes provisions on maritime security.
In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump said the naval blockade targeting Iran will remain in place until the agreement is fully completed, but stressed that the deal is not connected to Lebanon.
He said the United States would separately “work with Lebanon” and address the Hezbollah situation, adding that “Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer,” which he said Washington would prohibit.
Trump also said NATO had offered assistance following the developments around the Strait of Hormuz, but claimed he rejected the offer, describing the alliance as a “paper tiger” and saying it should stay away unless involved in oil logistics.
Trump thanked Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Pakistan for what he called their support during the process, while also stating that Iran is removing sea mines from key waterways with US assistance.
He added that the agreement is not linked to Lebanon in any way, but repeated his intention to “make Lebanon great again,” without providing details on how that would be implemented.
Trump also claimed Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again, calling it a major shift in regional security and global energy stability.
