Trump rejects Iran ceasefire draft, demands stricter terms to revive stalled nuclear talks
President Donald Trump tightens demands in stalled Iran nuclear talks, risking collapse of tentative ceasefire deal.
US and Iranian negotiators reached a tentative agreement last week on a 60-day ceasefire extension and a framework for nuclear negotiations, but Trump has rejected the draft, demanding stricter terms before granting final approval, according to multiple reports. Tehran is expected to respond to the revised US proposal within days, though officials warn the delay could derail the fragile accord .
The impasse centers on unresolved disputes over Iran’s nuclear program, with Trump insisting any deal must prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons—a condition he reiterated in a weekend social media post. The president’s hesitation also stems from concerns that a new agreement could mirror or worsen the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which he previously called "the worst in US history" .
The tentative ceasefire, brokered by US and Iranian negotiators, remains in limbo pending Trump’s sign-off, with Axios reporting that the memorandum has not yet received final approval . Analysts suggest Trump’s tougher stance reflects both domestic political calculations and a desire to avoid concessions that could be framed as weaker than the Obama-era deal.
Negotiations have dragged on for months, with Iran’s nuclear advancements and regional tensions heightening the urgency. The current ceasefire, set to expire in June, was intended to create space for broader talks, but Trump’s demands risk prolonging the deadlock—or scuttling the deal entirely.
