NEW YORK (VINnews) — While recent days have seen growing assessments that the United States and Iran are nearing a framework agreement that would end the military tensions between the two sides, it appears that President Donald Trump is still not ready to sign the proposed draft.

According to a report by journalist Barak Ravid, Trump held a special meeting in the White House Situation Room over the weekend, during which he requested a series of changes to the draft agreement that had been formulated through mediators between the parties.

According to American officials familiar with the details, the president mainly wants to strengthen the clauses dealing with Iran’s nuclear program and its stockpile of enriched uranium.

Under the current framework, Iran would commit not to develop nuclear weapons, but most of the practical issues, including the future of its enriched uranium stockpile and restrictions on continued uranium enrichment, would be negotiated during a 60-day period following the signing of the agreement.

Trump, according to the report, wants clearer and more detailed mechanisms regarding the transfer of enriched uranium, timelines for carrying out the process, and how it would be monitored.

In addition, another issue concerning the president involves provisions related to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has reportedly requested revisions to some of the wording, particularly concerning freedom of navigation through the strait, which is considered one of the world’s most important energy shipping routes.

The White House emphasizes that the president supports reaching an agreement but will not sign a document that, in his view, fails to provide sufficient guarantees that Iran will be unable to move toward a military nuclear capability in the future.

One American official estimated that Tehran would need several days to formally respond to the new demands that have been presented. According to the official, negotiations are continuing, but it is still impossible to set a final date for signing.

Iranian officials have also signaled in recent days that an agreement is within reach, but they have clarified that no final decision has yet been made. Meanwhile, Iranian media reported that under the emerging understandings, Tehran may gain access to some of the funds frozen abroad, a claim that American officials have denied.

Despite the delay, officials in Washington reportedly believe that the chances of reaching an agreement remain high and that the remaining disputes concern mainly wording and safeguards designed to protect the core interests of both sides.

If no last-minute surprises occur, a final decision could be reached within the coming days.
