President Donald Trump has reportedly sought to modify the proposed agreement to end the ongoing conflict involving Iran. These changes, intended to toughen terms related to Iran's nuclear commitments and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, were sent to Iranian officials for review, extending the negotiations that have lingered since hostilities began following US and Israeli strikes on February 28, according to Channel News Asia and Al Jazeera.
The specific revisions requested by Trump are not entirely clear, but reports indicate he is particularly focused on reinforcing the nuclear material clauses, reflecting his concerns over Iran’s nuclear ambitions. An unnamed US official noted that Iran might take up to three days to respond, as they remain in significantly controlled communication environments, emphasizing Trump's insistence on obtaining what he believes are necessary changes in the deal framework, according to India Times and Channel News Asia.
Despite Trump previously suggesting that the deal was "largely finalized," his latest push for amendments has introduced uncertainties into the negotiation timeline. Officials have indicated that a decision regarding ending the war and the proposed agreement could still take time, with Trump's administration prioritizing decisive commitments from Iran, which include a cessation of nuclear weapons development and favorable terms for the reopening of the strategically significant Strait of Hormuz, as highlighted by Al Jazeera and India Times.
