After Iran announced that the Strait of Hormuz is “fully open and ready for business", US President Donald Trump said the American naval blockade would continue in full force. 

He stated that the blockade would remain until the ongoing “transaction" is completely finished. “Iran has just announced that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for business — but the Naval blockade will remain in full force and effect until such time as our transaction is 100% complete," said Trump.

Trump also said the United States would take control of all “nuclear dust" created by its B2 bombers and insisted that no money would be exchanged. He added that Iran had agreed it would never possess a nuclear weapon.

The USA will get all ‘Nuclear Dust’ created by our great B2 Bombers. No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form — and most importantly, it is agreed that Iran will NEVER have a nuclear weapon," he added.
