Trump wrote that all U.S. ships, aircraft and personnel, with additional ammunition and weaponry, would "remain in place in, and around, Iran" until a real agreement is fully complied with, warning that otherwise "the 'Shootin' Starts,' bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before." He repeated that the terms meant "NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS" and a Strait of Hormuz "OPEN & SAFE."
Why it matters
It kept the U.S. military buildup in place through the negotiating window while ship traffic through Hormuz stayed near a standstill.
