US Media: Trump's Proposed Amendments to the US-Iran Deal Involve Nuclear Material Acquisition and the Strait of Hormuz

May31 News, according to Jinshi citing AXIOS, a senior administration official and another insider revealed that Trump, in a meeting held at the Situation Room on Friday, requested several amendments to the proposed agreement reached by his envoy with Iranian representatives. Two US officials stated that Trump wants to reach the agreement and expects it to be finalized soon, but he has requested to strengthen several points that are crucial to him, especially regarding the clauses related to Iran's nuclear materials. Trump's request has triggered a new round of back-and-forth communication between the two sides, a process that may last for several days. According to two sources, Trump asked his team to amend the clauses in the draft regarding Iran's nuclear program. The current memorandum of understanding includes Iran's commitment not to seek nuclear weapons, but there are no specific concessions beyond that. The memorandum stipulates a 60-day window for negotiations on Iran's nuclear commitments and US sanctions relief, with the primary agenda item being how to deal with Iran's existing stockpile of enriched uranium and limit further enrichment activities. Trump wants to try to amend this part. "It's more about the specific details of how the US will acquire (nuclear) materials and the specific timeline," said a senior administration official when discussing enriched uranium. A second source said that Trump also wants to amend the wording regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The US official stated that Trump has been informed that it will take Iran about three days to respond.
