Trump Puts Iran Deal On Hold At The Last Minute

What went wrong?

U.S. President Donald Trump during a meeting at the operational headquarters ordered to revise the terms of the agreement with Tehran, which had previously been agreed upon. This was reported by Axios on May 31, citing its own sources in the U.S. administration.

Before that moment, the signing of the agreement was considered virtually guaranteed, and the White House chief himself had shown willingness to approve the document. Now, however, insiders say Trump is pushing to strengthen key positions for Washington, primarily related to Iranian nuclear materials.

What exactly does the US president want to change?"

Uranium control: The current version of the treaty contains only a general commitment by Iran not to build nuclear weapons. The question of what Tehran should do with its already accumulated stockpile of enriched uranium has been put aside "for later." It was this omission, according to journalists, that caused Trump's displeasure.

The Strait of Hormuz: The American leader also demanded to adjust the wording regarding the conditions for resuming navigation through this strategically important strait.

Timelines and expectations

A senior White House source said it would take about three days for the Iranian side to respond.

The administration stressed that it was willing to accept the delay in order to get the president's demands met. Overall, the process of final approval and signing of the deal could drag on for another week.
