Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei publicly criticizes a peace deal involving the United States and Donald Trump, describing it as stemming from “desperation.” According to multiple reports, Khamenei says Trump relied on “leverage” after “desperation” to secure an agreement that ends a three-month conflict. The outlets also report that the U.S. military announces the end of a blockade affecting ports in the Strait of Hormuz. The language used in the Iranian response focuses on characterizing the negotiations as pressured rather than voluntary, while the U.S. side frames the move as a step linked to the deal’s implementation. Together, the coverage indicates that the agreement includes both an end to fighting lasting three months and the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade connected to the Strait of Hormuz. While details beyond those points are not included in the excerpts, the consistent themes across sources are Khamenei’s dismissal of the deal’s motivations and the U.S. announcement ending the blockade as part of the agreement’s execution.
