United States President Donald Trump sent a revised version of the proposed peace framework to Iran, carrying stricter conditions amid ongoing efforts to reach an agreement to end the war, according to US media reports on Saturday, May 30, 2026.
Revised Draft Sent to Tehran
The New York Times reported that Trump amended certain parts of the draft agreement and sent it back to Tehran for review, based on information from three officials familiar with the matter. The report did not detail the exact changes made to the document.
Concerns Over Iranian Assets
According to officials, Trump expressed concern over provisions that could involve unfreezing or releasing Iranian assets—an issue he previously criticized regarding the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated under the administration of former President Barack Obama.
The report also noted that Trump has grown frustrated with the slow pace of Iran's response to US proposals, which are being conveyed through intermediaries, including Pakistani officials. One official told the newspaper that the revised proposal aims to increase pressure on Tehran and push them to accept the framework already presented to Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei for approval.
Communication Challenges
Despite this, the report noted that communication with Iran's top leadership remains difficult, leaving room for further delays if additional changes are made to the document, described as a memorandum of understanding (MOU). Larger and more contentious issues, including Iran's nuclear program, will be addressed in subsequent phases of negotiations, according to the report.
Trump's Hope for Quick Deal
The news website Axios also reported, citing two US officials, that Trump still hopes to finalize the agreement soon but insists on stronger provisions on issues he considers urgent, especially those involving Iran's nuclear material.
Trump held a two-hour meeting on Friday with his senior advisers in the White House Situation Room to discuss efforts to end the war, but no official statement was released to the public after the meeting.
