Iran deal nearly complete after Trump sets one-week deadline - Fox News

"We are not going to roll over. We are not there yet on a deal. We are not going to sign a deal today or tomorrow," a US official said, adding that Trump "instinct is to give them 5, 6, 7 days" to get the job done.

The official confirmed that the principle of no dust, no dollars applies in the negotiations (presumably referring to the nuclear program — i.e., until Iran gives it up, there will be no money at all).

In addition, the official added that Iran has agreed in principle to the framework agreement, and the parties are 95% of the way to implementing it.

"We have a deal on the nuclear stockpile and the Strait of Hormuz but are negotiating language. We have the opportunity to make a deal that will lower costs for Americans while ensuring the Iranians do not get a nuclear weapon," the source stated.

Summarising, he said that the US certainly does not intend to sign a bad deal, noting that Washington has options. In particular, the US can resume military action if a deal is not reached.

What preceded this

On Sunday, Donald Trump instructed his negotiators not to rush into an agreement, stating that time is on America's side. Earlier, on Saturday, he said that the framework agreement with Iran, called a memorandum of understanding, had been largely reached through negotiations.

This document is primarily aimed at ending the war and also provides for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of the US blockade. If an agreement is reached, the parties will then have 30–60 days to finalise a definitive document to end the war. It is during those negotiations that the nuclear issue and several other topics will be discussed.

According to CBS News, Iran has supposedly agreed to dispose of its highly enriched uranium.
