A meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his senior national security and political team regarding the course of negotiations with the Iranian regime ended after more than two hours of consultations without reaching a final decision.
The New York Times reported early Saturday, May 30, citing a senior U.S. administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity, that Trump was unable to reach a definitive conclusion during the meeting regarding the proposed memorandum of understanding with the Iranian regime.
Before the meeting began, Trump had said that the Friday session in the White House Situation Room was intended to make a final decision regarding the outcome of several weeks of negotiations with Tehran. He also emphasized that any agreement aimed at reducing tensions must include a commitment by the Iranian regime to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and to eliminate its stockpiles of enriched uranium.
Meanwhile, hours after Trump’s remarks, a spokesperson for the Iranian regime’s Foreign Ministry also stated that no final understanding had yet been reached between the two sides and that negotiations were still ongoing.
This comes as conflicting reports have emerged in recent days regarding the fate of the talks between Washington and Tehran, and uncertainty about the possibility of reaching a final agreement continues to persist.
