U.S. officials reveal: Trump proposed tougher terms in an attempt to pressure Iran to speed up the negotiation process.
```
According to reports from CCTV correspondents, on May 30 local time, several U.S. officials revealed that President Trump has significantly revised and tightened the terms of the memorandum of understanding regarding the intention to end the U.S.-Iran conflict. The revised content has been submitted to Iran for review.
U.S. officials disclosed that the revised plan is tougher, aiming to pressure Iran, speed up the negotiation process, and prompt Iran to accept the framework previously presented to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba·Khamenei. Two U.S. officials revealed that Trump has objections to the provisions in the memorandum regarding the unfreezing of Iran’s overseas assets.
Another two insiders stated that President Trump, during a White House Situation Room meeting on May 29, requested modifications to the memorandum, especially the sections related to Iran’s nuclear material handling.
Sources say that Trump hopes to reach an agreement and expects a final conclusion soon, but he demands that several key points be strengthened. The current draft memorandum includes Iran’s commitment not to seek nuclear weapons and sets a 60-day window for continued negotiations on Iran’s nuclear commitments and U.S. sanctions relief. Priority topics include how to handle Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium and limiting further enrichment.
A senior government official said that Trump wants the agreement to specify more clearly how the U.S. will acquire related nuclear materials and the timetable. Another source said Trump also wishes to revise the wording on reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Reports indicate that the U.S. expects Iran to respond within about 3 days. Iran’s official media claim the agreement is near completion but not finalized, and state Iran will gain billions of dollars in frozen funds; the White House denies this claim.
Currently, neither the U.S. nor Iranian officials have made clear statements regarding the U.S. revisions to the memorandum of understanding.
