Blockade lift announcement by Trump seen as first step toward broader US-Iran agreement
Al Jazeera reporter, Ali Hashem, posted on X:
“A highly informed source tells me that Trump’s post on the “Truth Social" platform regarding lifting the siege was actually the first condition before moving on to the rest of the agreement steps.
And according to the source, Tehran insisted on an official and public announcement first. It seems that Trump tried to present the matter as a secondary detail among larger files, while Iran considers it an essential step to build trust before entering the more sensitive files.
So far, direct discussions on the nuclear file itself have not been opened. The path is expected to proceed gradually through a memorandum of understanding (MOU), with each step met by a reciprocal step.
The source adds that the announcement of a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel is within the framework that was agreed upon."
