Day 92 | Trump concludes Situation Room meeting on Iran without announcing a decision
Section not available
US President Donald Trump met with advisers in the White House Situation Room for about two hours on Friday as he considers a tentative agreement with Iran that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz and launch nuclear negotiations. Trump said before the meeting he was preparing to make a “final determination,” though it remains unclear whether he has officially approved the proposal.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said a memorandum of understanding between Tehran and Washington has not yet been finalized. Iranian officials also said there has been no definitive confirmation that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei approved the proposed document.
At the same time, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps navy announced it fired warning shots at four vessels near the Strait of Hormuz. According to a statement published on an affiliated Telegram channel, the ships were allegedly attempting to pass through the waterway “without prior coordination or authorization.”

The department said the outcomes of the meetings would support the broader political track being led by the US State Department.

US says Iranian network defrauded tech companies to supply military
The US Department of State said it has “dismantled” an Iranian network accused of impersonating and defrauding American businesses to obtain sensitive technology for Iran’s military sector.
State Department spokesperson Tommy Piggot said the network, allegedly led by Iran-based Ali Majd Sepehr, had “defrauded dozens of American technology companies of millions of dollars by posing as legitimate US businesses.”
He said the operation was part of Washington’s broader “Economic Fury” campaign targeting individuals and entities working on behalf of Iran’s Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics.
According to Piggot, the network sought to procure restricted goods and advanced equipment from US companies for Iran’s defence sector.
The State Department announced sanctions linked to the case, describing it as part of efforts to disrupt procurement channels used by Iran’s military establishment.

Officials said the initiative is intended to increase pressure on networks facilitating illicit financial flows tied to Iran’s military and proxy operations.
The reward offer forms part of broader US efforts to restrict financing routes used by sanctioned entities.
The department said the information could lead to enforcement actions against key facilitators and intermediaries involved in these networks.
