The president announced conditions for ending the naval operation, but formal lifting has not yet occurred amid ongoing negotiations with Iran.

Negotiators reached a 60-day truce extension on May 28, but the final announcement remains uncertain without the President's sign-off.

U.S. warships transited the Strait of Hormuz days after the briefing, signaling ongoing military operations in the region.

Tehran and Washington have a tentative ceasefire extension deal pending Trump's approval, officials and analysts say.

The president said the naval blockade “will now be lifted” and ships may return home, ahead of a Situation Room session to decide on a potential deal with Iran.

Iran has not yet committed to actions on its nuclear program, and no permanent peace deal has been signed as of late May, Al Jazeera reports.

The White House confirmed on April 8 that a ceasefire had taken hold, but broader negotiations toward a final deal have yet to yield an announcement.
