President Trump Leaves Iran Ceasefire and Nuclear Proposal Pending After 2-Hour Situation Room Meeting

President Donald Trump concluded a two-hour Situation Room meeting without approving a proposed memorandum of understanding aimed at extending a ceasefire with Iran and launching new negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program, leaving the status of a potential agreement unresolved.  

The White House has not announced a final agreement or endorsed draft following the meeting, despite President Trump having said earlier that he would make a “final determination” on the proposal. Any arrangement under discussion would still require approval from both the US president and Iran’s senior leadership.  

Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that Washington and Tehran had reached a memorandum of understanding designed to end the war, pending Trump’s authorization. The proposal calls for a 60-day extension of the ceasefire and the start of renewed talks focused on Iran’s nuclear activities.  

As discussions continued, administration officials said President Trump gathered advisers in the Situation Room to settle the conditions he considers essential for any deal. Among those priorities are the elimination of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.  

“Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.  

While administration officials have indicated that an agreement may be within reach, several issues remain unsettled. Outstanding disputes reportedly include the release of Iranian funds and questions surrounding the handling and transfer of nuclear materials.
