Sunday, May 31, 2026 {HMC} US President Donald Trump entered the Situation Room of the White House last Friday to make a final decision on the deal with Iran.
Now, new details are emerging that reveal interesting things that happened at that meeting.
Trump is said to have ordered his aides to make major changes to the draft of the previously agreed agreement, presenting tougher conditions than before in order to put more pressure on Iran.
Therefore, the ball is now in Iran’s court, awaiting its new response.
No one knows for sure what Trump’s new conditions are and whether they directly contradict Iran’s red lines.
Especially since Iran, which has so far not seemed to be yielding to external pressure, has already accepted a different draft than the current one.
Historically, Iran has not seen talks as a way to resolve disputes, but rather as a way to manage and control tensions.
Will Iran abandon its negotiating approach?
Or will Trump’s new terms send the talks back to square one, starting from scratch?
In addition to this situation, Trump recently provided few details about his changes to the previously agreed-upon agreement that was expected to be signed. He said: “At the beginning of the talks, Iran agreed to a clause that it would not develop nuclear weapons.
Then I said: what if you buy nuclear weapons from somewhere else?
So we changed that clause, and now they say: ‘We will not develop or buy any nuclear weapons.’
There is a big difference between those two clauses.
That way we are gradually getting to what we want.” He added: “The talks with Iran are difficult and take a long time, but I am in no hurry.”
