[Trump: Framework for US-Iran Nuclear Deal Nearing Finalization, Major Disagreements Remain on Nuclear Issue] 1. US President Trump stated on Saturday that a draft framework aimed at finalizing US-Iran nuclear negotiations and reopening the Strait of Hormuz is nearing "finalization." While the agreement, if finalized, may not fully achieve Trump's core goal of "permanently preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons," it could prevent a renewed war, a prospect widely desired by Middle Eastern countries, and gradually alleviate the global economic crisis triggered by Iran's blockade of the Strait—approximately one-fifth of the world's oil supply is transported through this waterway. 2. US officials revealed that Trump has made it clear to aides and representatives of other countries that the US reserves the right to resume strikes against Iran if it violates the interim agreement. Trump has repeatedly pledged that the new agreement will impose stricter controls on Iran's nuclear program than the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, including setting a cap on Iran's uranium enrichment production and enrichment levels for at least 15 years. 3. The White House also hopes the agreement will limit Iran's ballistic missile program and its support for regional armed groups—issues crucial to Israel and US allies in the Middle East. However, informed negotiators indicate that the framework agreement is unlikely to explicitly bind these aspects. 4. US, Iranian, and mediating officials stated that the framework agreement soon to be approved by Trump will give both sides 30 days to finalize the terms, with the possibility of extending it for another month if necessary. Iranian negotiating team spokesman Esmail Bagae said earlier on Saturday that a negotiation period of 30 to 60 days is "reasonable." 5. The nuclear issue remains the biggest point of contention. The US demands that the final agreement include a commitment from Iran to permanently suspend its nuclear program (or for up to 20 years) and to transfer near-weapon-grade enriched uranium stockpiles to the US. Iran firmly rejects this demand, insisting that the nuclear issue should be postponed while simultaneously pursuing the comprehensive lifting of sanctions.
