Trump Says Iran Talks ‘Constructive’ But Blockade Will Remain Until Final Deal Is Reached

ISTANBUL, May 25 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- US President Donald Trump said Sunday that negotiations with Iran are “orderly and constructive” but vowed the blockade will remain in place until a final agreement is reached, Anadolu Ajansi reported.

"The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed. Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes!," Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social.

He also said US-Iran relations are becoming “much more professional and productive,” while warning that Tehran must not develop or acquire a nuclear weapon.

Trump further thanked Middle Eastern countries for their “support and cooperation,” saying engagement would be strengthened through broader participation in the Abraham Accords, and suggested Iran could one day join the framework.

He criticised the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, calling it “one of the worst agreements ever made,” and again blamed former President Barack Obama’s administration for what he described as a flawed agreement that opened a path toward nuclear weapons development.

Trump said the current negotiations with Iran are “far better” and part of a more effective approach, insisting the ongoing process will prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear arms.

In a later Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump wrote that any potential agreement with Iran would be “good and proper,” unlike the 2015 nuclear deal, which he claimed gave Tehran “massive amounts of cash” and “a clear and open path to a nuclear weapon.”

He said the current negotiations are “the exact opposite,” while noting that the deal has not yet been fully negotiated.

Trump also dismissed critics of the talks, saying they “know nothing about” the process, and added that, unlike previous administrations, he does not “make bad deals.”
