President Donald Trump went to social media Sunday morning with a new snapshot of where U.S. talks with Iran stand—one that carried both momentum and pressure.
Trump said the negotiations are moving “in an orderly and constructive manner.” He added that he has told everyone on his team “not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side.”
For Trump, the message is not softer; it’s sequenced. The U.S. maritime blockade on Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz remains “in full force and effect until an agreement is reached. certified. and signed. ” he wrote. “They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb,” Trump added.
The president’s remarks come after a day of diplomacy that he himself described as close to completion. On Saturday, Trump said an agreement to end the war between the U.S. and Iran has been “largely negotiated,” but still requires finalization. “Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. In addition to many other elements of the Agreement. the Strait of Hormuz will be opened. ” Trump said on Truth Social.
Diplomatic activity has continued on multiple fronts. Multiple news outlets reported Trump called an emergency session with national security officials on Friday. On Saturday. Iranian media reported Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi held separate phone calls with his Egyptian and Qatari counterparts regarding diplomatic efforts to end the war.
Iran’s official messaging also stayed upbeat, even as the U.S. kept the blockade tied to a signed outcome. The Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, said he has “conservative optimism.”
Trump’s public push aligns with hints from his administration that a breakthrough could be near. Earlier in the day. Secretary of State Marco Rubio dropped a warning and a promise at the same time while speaking to reporters during his visit to India. Rubio told the press, “Even as I speak to you now, there’s some work that’s being done. There is a chance that. whether it’s later today. tomorrow. or in a couple of days. we may have something to say.”.
Rubio, in the same remarks, underlined the nonnegotiable requirements that would accompany any opening of the Strait. “Iran can never have a nuclear weapon,” he added. “The Strait needs to be opened without tolls. They need to turn over their enriched uranium, their highly enriched uranium — we need to address that issue.”.
The sequence leaves little room for misunderstanding: the administration is talking about “final aspects and details” while explicitly tying the Strait of Hormuz to a signed, certified agreement and insisting that uranium and nuclear weapons remain at the center of the conditions.
As Trump framed it Sunday morning, negotiations are proceeding, but the blockade stays. And until there is a deal that is reached, certified, and signed, the stakes remain anchored in the waterway that carries both commerce and strategic risk.

Orderly? Sounds like they’re just buying time.
So we’re blocking ships but calling it peace talks… okay. I don’t get how “constructive” fits with a blockade still going. Hopefully it doesn’t turn into another mess.
“Not to rush into a deal” = he wants more leverage right? And then he says they can’t develop a nuclear weapon (like Iran didn’t know that already). Why would opening the Strait of Hormuz be part of it… isn’t that just ports doing port stuff? Makes me think the whole thing is mostly PR.
This is gonna confuse people bc it reads like peace is happening and also a blockade is in full force. Like which one is it? If they “certify and sign” something, does that mean Iran won’t be allowed to ship oil until it’s signed? I swear every time they say negotiations are close, something blows up right after. Also the part about “emergency session” makes it sound like everyone panicked on Friday.
