Trump Says He’s Entering Situation Room To Make Final Decision On Iran Deal

It wasn’t clear if Iran had since demanded that the blockade be lifted in advance in order to move forward.

The MoU stipulates that the sides will hold subsequent negotiations during the 60-day ceasefire extension on Iran’s nuclear program, including its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium.

Trump insisted that this “nuclear dust” will be “unearthed” and destroyed by the US in close coordination with Iran and the UN’s nuclear energy agency.

Tehran has yet to show any indication that it is prepared to accept these terms.

“No money will be exchanged, until further notice,” he added, ostensibly referring to the sanctions relief Iran is supposed to receive from the US as part of the MoU once it is signed.
