The United States lifted its blockade of Iran on Thursday, June 18. Consequently, oil tankers resumed free passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a channel that had been closed for months. This shift followed the activation of a tentative agreement to end the conflict.

1. These fools, who think I haven't been tough enough on Iran, when the Stock Market Just Hit A RECORD HIGH, and Oil prices are 'tumbling' down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid.
2. The Obama deal was a road to a nuclear weapon. And, let's call it the Trump deal, is a wall for a nuclear weapon. Nobody's going to get through it. We built a wall.

1. I don't think our public messaging has been chaotic.
2. Our plan is to go to Switzerland. I don't know exactly when.
3. So we're also honoring our end of the early part of the agreement on the military side.

1. Iran's nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works.

1. Does it solve everything? No. Are there risks? Yes.

1. In principle, I had a different view (about the memorandum of understanding), but I issued my permission due to the commitment that the honourable (Iranian) president, as the chairman of the Supreme National Security Council, gave me on behalf of himself and other members to protect the rights of the Iranian nation and the Resistance Front.
2. It is obvious that the face-to-face negotiations that will be held in the future will not mean accepting the enemy's opinion.

1. Currently, the plan remains for the US and Iran, along with the mediators Pakistan and Qatar and other involved countries, to meet tomorrow at the Burgenstock for initial negotiations on the implementation of the agreement.

1. The energy crisis not only affects governments. It affects ordinary people. So, I think everyone's going to be, at least for now, breathing a sigh of relief.
2. It is the start of what we hope to be a longer peace agreement between the US and Iran. It will definitely calm a lot of tensions that have been growing in the region and beyond the region.

1. The US administration could have gotten a much better deal than this, but at the same time, there was a desire to open up the Strait of Hormuz.
