U.S. President Donald Trump says he believes Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has approved a proposed U.S.-Iran deal. Speaking at the White House, Trump said he understood the answer to whether Khamenei had approved the deal was “yes,” responding to a reporter’s question about approval. Trump characterized the agreement as a “very strong memorandum of understanding,” saying it is still “a little conceptual,” but that it is intended to be carried out. The reported terms Trump described include triggering the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and lifting a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports. The statements, reported by multiple outlets, present Trump’s assertion that approval has already been granted by Iran’s top leadership, alongside an outline of expected outcomes related to maritime access and U.S. sanctions or blockade measures. The sources do not provide additional details on the deal’s specific provisions or confirm the claims through independent verification from Iranian officials.
