On Saturday, US President Donald Trump revealed his hesitation between moving towards a new agreement with Tehran or launching a military strike against it.
Trump told Axios that he would hold a meeting today with his top advisers to discuss the latest draft of the agreement with Iran, noting that a final decision could be made tomorrow.
He added that he would later meet with envoy Steve Wittkopf, along with Jared Kushner, to discuss the latest Iranian response, explaining that JD Vance might join the meeting.
Trump indicated that he would not accept any agreement that did not address the issue of Iranian uranium enrichment and the fate of the current stockpile of uranium, stressing that these issues represent the core of any possible understanding with Tehran.
The US president continued, saying: “Either we sign an agreement or I will deliver a powerful blow to them.”
Trump denied reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was concerned about the possibility of concluding an “inappropriate” agreement with Iran, asserting that such information was “incorrect”.
Earlier today, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced that it had put the “final touches” on the memorandum of understanding with the United States, indicating that negotiations were moving towards reducing differences with Washington.
Trump confirmed last Thursday that negotiations with Iran were still ongoing, while also stressing that his country would not allow Tehran to possess a nuclear weapon “in any possible agreement.”
It is worth noting that Islamabad hosted the first round of direct negotiations between Washington and Tehran last April, but they did not result in an agreement.
Since then, the two sides have exchanged several proposals, while some points remain unresolved, most notably the transfer of highly enriched Iranian uranium abroad, control of the Strait of Hormuz, and the complete lifting of US sanctions on Iranian oil, amid continued verbal warnings and US threats.
