The latest update on the Iran deal indicates that President Trump reached a final determination to harden its terms and return the agreement to Tehran. According to the New York Times, which cites three officials, he toughened the conditions of the framework instead of approving it as presented. Trump has remained particularly cautious about provisions that would unfreeze Iranian funds. He draws a direct connection to his longstanding criticism of the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated under Obama. One official described the stricter proposal as a deliberate pressure tactic. The aim is to compel Iran to accept the existing framework, which now sits with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei for his approval. This approach carries significant risk. The more demanding conditions might prompt Iran to reach a quick decision, yet they could also derail the entire timeline. Contact with Khamenei has proven challenging, and any modifications require restarting the review process.
