Trump sends Iran revised nuclear proposal, demands 'significant' changes

President Donald Trump is pushing for a swift nuclear deal with Iran, but not at any cost. The U.S. has sent a third revised proposal to Tehran, seeking "rather significant" changes to the draft memorandum. Mediators are urging progress on the remaining issues, with the revised draft reaching Tehran after a White House meeting.

Trump desires a finalized agreement soon, but he is making it clear that certain points are non-negotiable. Sources indicate he wants "clearer and stricter" commitments from Tehran regarding its nuclear program and the prevention of atomic weapons development. This includes specific terms on highly enriched fissile material and Iran's general commitment to not pursue nuclear weapons.

The current text sets a 60-day window for negotiations on Iran's nuclear program and the lifting of U.S. sanctions. Key discussion points include how Iran will dispose of its enriched uranium stockpiles and measures to limit future enrichment activities. The U.S. aims to precisely define the terms and timeline for acquiring this fissile material.

Tehran is proceeding with extreme caution in its online activities, reportedly due to systematic cyber operations. Despite this, there is a prevailing belief that an agreement will be reached. "We are willing to wait because the president gets what he asks for," one source close to the dossier stated, adding that the timeline could be a week or more.

In a recent interview, Trump expressed no urgency, stating, "there is no deal that is good enough." He believes that rushing could jeopardize the quality of the agreement. "Slowly but surely, we are getting, I think, what we want, and if we don't get what we want, we will solve the problem another way," he added, emphasizing that his absolute guarantee is that Iran will not possess nuclear weapons.
