⚠️ TRUMP REAFFIRMS DEMAND TO DISMANTLE IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM AS REPORTS CONFLICT OVER URANIUM TRANSFER AND STRAIT OF HORMUZ AGREEMENT

🔸 Conflicting reports over uranium transfer: Reports in the United States claimed Iran agreed to transfer its highly enriched uranium out of the country. A senior Iranian official told Reuters: “Contrary to reports, we did not agree to hand over the highly enriched uranium; the nuclear issue is not part of the preliminary agreement.”

🔸 Israel updated on Strait of Hormuz negotiations: A political source said the United States is updating Israel on negotiations over a memorandum of understanding to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and begin talks toward a final agreement on disputed issues. During his conversation with President Trump last night, Prime Minister Netanyahu stressed that Israel will maintain freedom of action against threats in all arenas, including Lebanon. President Trump reiterated his support for that principle.

🔸 Trump maintains conditions for a final agreement: According to the political source, President Trump made clear he will stand firm on his demand to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and remove all enriched uranium from Iranian territory. He will not sign a final agreement without those conditions being met. Netanyahu again expressed appreciation for Trump’s longstanding commitment to Israel’s security.

⚠️ Senior Israeli officials warn over the emerging agreement: A senior Israeli official said the developing arrangement is problematic because it signals to Iran that the Strait of Hormuz can serve as leverage “no less effective than a nuclear weapon.” The official said Trump views the agreement primarily as an economic arrangement centered on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with future progress tied to dismantling Iran’s nuclear program. The official added that it remains unclear what happens after the memorandum of understanding stage.

⚠️ Israeli concerns focus on Lebanon and Hezbollah rearmament: The senior Israeli official said the main concern may ultimately become Lebanon. He said that if a future ceasefire resembles the November 2024 arrangement, in which Israel acts against Hezbollah rearmament without major retaliation, it would be favorable but difficult to sustain. The official warned Israel may eventually face a choice between a renewed settlement framework, a prolonged war of attrition, or a broader war to remove the threat.

🗣️ Iran rejects Trump claims regarding Strait of Hormuz control: Fars News Agency, affiliated with the IRGC, stated: “Contrary to Trump’s statements, even in the case of an agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will remain under Iran’s control.” Iranian officials said Tehran would continue regulating routes, timing, permits, and passage rules in the waterway even if commercial traffic increases again.

Iranian sources claim frozen assets could be released: Iranian sources also claimed the agreement could lead to the release of $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets. Fars additionally alleged that U.S. officials told Iranian counterparts President Trump’s public statements were primarily intended for domestic political and media audiences.

❗️ Gunfire near White House triggers lockdown: Gunshots were heard near the White House gates last night, prompting an immediate lockdown response. Secret Service agents instructed journalists and personnel gathered on the North Lawn to move into the press briefing room as security forces responded. Witnesses reported hearing approximately 20–30 shots during the exchange.

According to the U.S. Secret Service, the suspect opened fire near a White House checkpoint before agents returned fire, fatally wounding the attacker. A bystander was also injured. No Secret Service personnel were reported injured.

Prime Minister Netanyahu condemned the shooting and expressed relief that President Trump was unharmed, calling him “the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House.”
