White House: Iran Leadership Needs Days to OK Deal

A senior administration source says Tehran’s top decision-makers are still reviewing the text of a prospective nuclear understanding, and Washington expects the review to stretch into the coming week. Axios reported that U.S. negotiators believe signatures could come soon, but only if no new obstacles emerge. President Trump used his social-media platform to caution against haste. “Both sides should take the time to get it right,” he wrote, adding that U.S. sanctions on Iranian ports remain fully active until an agreement is formally approved. The president framed the talks as a sharp departure from the 2015 nuclear deal, which he says handed Iran a fast track to weapons capability. At the same time, Trump disclosed conversations with eight regional powers about a broader Middle East pact. Observers note that it is still unclear whether the narrower U.S.-Iran understanding will address every American demand on enrichment limits or merely defer confrontation. The coming days will show whether the momentum holds or whether the process stalls once more.
