[US-Israel, Iran War Day #92] Trump Makes No Decision Yet on Iran Deal

In Brief…

• President Trump ended a roughly two-hour Situation Room meeting without deciding on a new Iran deal, though the administration believes an agreement is close as disputes continue over issues including the unfreezing of Iranian funds, the New York Times reported citing a senior administration official.
• Claims by US President Donald Trump about a possible agreement with Iran are “a mix of truth and lies” and do not reflect the draft terms being reviewed in Tehran, IRGC-affiliated Fars News reported, citing informed sources.
• US-Iran talks remain unsettled, with reports of a draft framework still awaiting Trump approval and Iranian outlets saying no memorandum has been finalized or confirmed.
• Hormuz remains central to negotiations, with US officials citing Iran’s possible reopening of the strait and Tehran officials calling control of the waterway a strategic source of leverage.
