Trump convened a Situation Room meeting on the Iran deal and appeared inclined to accept an agreement. A White House official said any deal must satisfy Trump’s redlines, be good for America, and ensure Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon. Iranian officials reported they had not approved the final text, while U.S. officials earlier claimed Tehran was ready to sign. Trump asked his team to revise clauses on Iran’s nuclear program, including specifics on how the U.S. receives enriched uranium and the timing. He also sought wording changes related to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The draft provides a 60-day negotiation window covering Iran’s nuclear commitments and U.S. sanctions relief, with initial issues focused on disposing of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and limiting further enrichment. The U.S. expected an Iranian response in about three days, with officials noting Iran would not use email.
"Trump asked his team to make changes to the draft on clauses regarding Iran's nuclear program. In its current form, the memorandum of understanding includes a commitment from Iran not to pursue a nuclear weapon, but no specific concessions beyond that. It states that there will be a 60-day window to negotiate on nuclear commitments from Iran and sanctions relief from the U.S., with the first issues on the docket being how to dispose of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile and limit further enrichment."
