Trump holds meeting to make 'final determination' on Iran deal

US President Donald Trump has held a meeting to make a "final determination" about an agreement to extend a ceasefire with Iran. He said Iran must agree to never have a nuclear weapon or bomb, that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened for "unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions", and that any mines in the waterway are "destroyed". Trump said Friday's meeting was held in the White House's Situation Room, used for dealing with major crises. Iran earlier said it was not negotiating its nuclear programme. US officials said on Thursday the two countries had agreed a framework of a deal - known as a memorandum of understanding - pending the approval of Trump and Iran's leadership.The deal would reportedly extend the ceasefire for 60 days and launch talks on the future of Iran's nuclear programme. Since the ceasefire came into effect on 8 April, Trump has repeatedly suggested the US and Iran are close to a deal and negotiations are progressing, but so far there have been no substantive results.In Friday's post on Truth Social, Trump said he was prepared to lift the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and ships caught in the waterway "may start the process of "heading home!"He also insisted Iran allows the US to remove and destroy its enriched uranium.
