Another message from Trump on Truth Social and another big indication that a peace deal is coming:
The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear “Dust,” created by our great B2 Bombers - No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form. This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, either, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah situation in an appropriate manner. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!! Thank you! President DJT
That's a pretty big surprise on Lebanon.
I'd imagine this 'money changing hands' bit on frozen Iranian funds is a bit of semantics. That money is in Qatar currently.
We're sort of entering the spin zone here now as he doesn't necessarily rule out ground attacks and incursions further into Lebanon either.
In any case, there's no use overthinking it here as it's all 'pro-peace and pro-opening Hormuz' and that's all that matters for markets.

Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL. They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger! President DJT
There is talk that European ships will be doing the de-mining operations. Update: Ok scrap that, Trump says that Iran, with the help of the USA, has removed or is removing all sea mines.
Also this:
Thank you to Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar for your great bravery and help! President DONALD J. TRUMP
That's sort of notable for who was left out: Kuwait and Oman among them.
Update: He's really excited and tweeting nonstop.
Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again. It will no longer be used as a weapon against the World! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Fresh highs in risk assets.
