Trump tightens terms ontightens terms on Iran war deal
US President Donald Trump has reportedly sought tougher language in a proposed agreement aimed at ending the Iran conflict, with US media reporting the revised terms on Saturday and Sunday.
The talks remain unfinished as negotiators work through nuclear language and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint that matters for global shipping and energy supplies.

US reports say Trump pushed back on parts of the draft and asked for stronger terms before any deal moves forward. The revised text is seen as part of continuing negotiations rather than a final settlement.

The proposal is still being adjusted because the parties have not locked in the main political and security terms. The draft’s focus on nuclear limits and the Strait of Hormuz shows the talks are tied to both regional security and trade flows.
- The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most strategically watched chokepoints.
- Iran’s geography gives it influence over traffic entering and leaving the Persian Gulf.
- Diplomatic drafts over nuclear issues often hinge on wording as much as on the headline promises.
