The CBS station said on Sunday that, following the reservations of the American president, the draft text was changed and it was already the third revision, the BBC wrote.
According to information from the Axios server on Saturday, Trump was supposed to demand a clear statement of how and when the United States could secure over 400 kilograms of Iran’s highly enriched uranium. In the current draft of the agreement, there is a commitment by Tehran that it will not seek to obtain a nuclear weapon, but it does not include anything about handing over enriched uranium or stopping enrichment. The American president also demands a clear plan of action for negotiations on the nuclear program.
Disputes about the strait
Trump also requested unspecified changes regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Already on Friday, he demanded its immediate opening without any tariffs and also insisted on the removal of mines.
Trump apparently reacted to the fact that the US and Iran interpret the term opening differently. Iran claims that it is already open, but who can sail through is decided by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, with which all ships must be registered.
But the US demands full opening and no fees. Iran denies that it collects tolls, but demands that ships pay security and environmental fees.
Trump also did not like the passage about the release of frozen Iranian assets. He repeatedly refuses to be released. However, Iran conditions the conclusion of the agreement on the immediate release of part of the frozen assets.
The Iranians also come with additional requirements
“One guarantee I have to have is that Iran will not have any nuclear weapons,” Trump told Fox News on Thursday.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi said that “until there is a clear agreement, everything that is said is just speculation”.
Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said on Sunday that Tehran will not agree to any deal until Iran’s rights are fully secured.
The Iranian news agency Tasnim, linked to the Revolutionary Guards, said that both sides are coming up with amendments.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during his weekend trip to Singapore that if the agreement with Iran does not meet the president’s expectations, strikes on Iran could be renewed. “Our stockpiles, both in the region and around the world, are more than suitable for this, as we balance the ratio between perfect and more abundant ammunition,” said Hegseth.
