IRGC General Rezaei Warns Iran Will Strike US Naval Blockade if Trump 'Betrays' Deal; Trump May 29 Meeting Ends Without Final Determination

May 30, 2026 — Iranian IRGC General Mohsen Rezaei issued a pointed public warning that Iran would 'attack the blockade' if President Trump betrays the tentative nuclear and Hormuz agreement that CNN confirmed was reached on May 28. Rezaei's statement signals that Iran views any failure to finalize the deal as bad faith on the American side — a framing that creates domestic political pressure within Iran against any climb-down from the tentative framework. The warning came one day after CNBC reported that Trump ended a May 29 Oval Office meeting on Iran without announcing any 'final determination' on the deal, despite VP Vance acknowledging on May 28 that only 'a couple of language points' remained unresolved. The gap between 'tentative agreement' (May 28) and 'final determination' (still pending) reflects the complex US domestic politics around any deal: 52 senators and 177 House members wrote to Trump on May 14 opposing any deal permitting enrichment, creating a hostile ratification environment. The Strait of Hormuz remains physically closed — approximately 750 vessels still trapped, $6B/month in Iranian oil exports blocked, US gas prices at $4.48/gallon entering their 14th week of disruption. The tentative 60-day MOU framework — Phase 1: Iran clears mines, Hormuz reopens (no tolls), US lifts naval blockade, sanctions waivers for Iranian oil sales; Phase 2: 60-day nuclear talks on enrichment suspension and HEU removal — remains the operational baseline. Oil markets moved sharply in anticipation of a deal since May 23 but face uncertainty given the unsigned status.
