Trump Tightens Demands as Iran Peace Talks Enter New Round

President Trump personally tightened terms for a potential Iran war-ending deal, sending a revised Memorandum of Understanding to Tehran after a White House Situation Room review. The changes, not fully disclosed, push back on economic concessions and could restart negotiations for several days, with the framework aiming to extend a ceasefire for 60 days, phase sanctions relief, and establish a joint mission to address enriched stockpiles nicknamed “Nuclear Dust” under a deterrence-heavy approach. A U.S. strike on a cargo vessel violating the blockade underscores Washington’s readiness to resume force if diplomacy stalls.
