Trump outlines conditions, Iran says no deal finalized yet

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Friday that no agreement has been finalized with the United States yet and the exchange of messages between the two sides is continuing, reported Xinhua.

Baghaei made the remarks in a telephone interview with state-run IRIB TV, after U.S. President Donald Trump outlined conditions for a deal with Iran and said he would soon make a decision.

Baghaei reiterated that Iran's current focus in the negotiations "is on ending the war."

"We have no talk on details of the issues pertaining to Iran's uranium enrichment or enriched uranium at this stage," he said.

Speaking about the possible re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz, Baghaei said future management of the strait "concerns only Iran and Oman."

Earlier in the day, in a social media post, U.S. President Donald Trump outlined his demands, saying, "Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb."

"The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions. All water mines (bombs), if any, will be terminated," Trump said, noting that the U.S. naval blockade "will now be lifted."

He also said Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles will be unearthed by the United States in coordination with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency and destroyed.

In terms of the financial compensation for the war demanded by Iran, Trump said, "No money will be exchanged, until further notice."

Iran, the United States, and Israel reached a ceasefire on April 8 after 40 days of fighting.

Over the past weeks, the two sides have reportedly exchanged several proposed plans outlining conditions for ending the conflict through Pakistani mediation. They are reportedly working to finalize a memorandum of understanding.

Iran's armed forces fire missiles at targets from southern regions

Iran's armed forces fired missiles at certain targets from the country's southern regions on Thursday night, the semi-official Fars news agency reported, said Xinhua.

The report said the missiles' exact targets are still unknown, while local sources cited the possibility of clashes in the Persian Gulf.

Explosions were reported in Iran's southern provinces of Bushehr and Hormozgan on Thursday night, Iranian media said.

The semi-official Tasnim news agency, citing the Iranian army, said exchanges of fire took place at sea to warn "violating" vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

Tasnim also quoted a military source as saying that Iran's air defense forces fired missiles at an "invading" U.S. drone near Bushehr, while the semi-official Mehr news agency reported that a blast heard in Bushehr province's Jam city was caused by air defense's engagement with invading aircraft.

The U.S. military later denied Iranian media reports that a U.S. aircraft had been downed near Bushehr. "No U.S. aircraft were shot down. All U.S. air assets are accounted for," the U.S. Central Command said in a post on X early Friday.

Mehr also reported that Iranian armed forces fired warning shots at four vessels attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz without coordinating with Iran.

Early Thursday, Iranian media reported three explosions east of the port city of Bandar Abbas on the coast of the Strait of Hormuz.

Later in the day, multiple U.S. media outlets reported that the U.S. military carried out fresh overnight strikes on Iran, targeting what Washington described as a military site posing a threat to U.S. forces and commercial shipping in the region.

Citing a U.S. official, CBS News said U.S. forces also intercepted drones launched from Iran. The official described the strikes as defensive, asserting that the ceasefire between the United States and Iran remains in place.

Citing military sources, Tasnim said the U.S. strikes came after Iranian naval forces fired warning shots at four vessels seeking to cross the Strait of Hormuz without Tehran's permission.

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps said it carried out strikes on a U.S. air base Thursday morning in response to the U.S. attacks against Bandar Abbas.

Iran says 24 ships crossed Hormuz Strait in past 24 hrs

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Friday 24 ships had transited the Strait of Hormuz within the past 24 hours in coordination with its Navy.

Making the remarks in a statement published on its official news outlet Sepah News, the IRGC said the vessels, including oil tankers and commercial ships, crossed the waterway after obtaining permission from and under the protection of its naval forces.

The IRGC said Iran is exercising smart control over the Strait of Hormuz with power, and will respond to any violation with "crushing blows."

Iran tightened its grip on the Strait of Hormuz beginning Feb. 28, when it barred safe passage of vessels belonging to or affiliated with Israel and the United States following joint strikes on Iranian territory.
