US President Donald Trump has asked for more changes to a proposed deal with Iran aimed at extending a ceasefire, according to CBS News.
Reports said the latest draft includes a 60-day halt in fighting, steps to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and a plan to restart talks on Iran’s nuclear programme. However, no final agreement has been announced.
A White House meeting on Friday to make a “final determination” ended without a clear decision.
What Trump has said
Trump indicated that preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons remains central to the deal.
“The one guarantee that I have to have is that there will be no nuclear weapons,” he said in an interview on Fox News.

He also said he was in “no hurry” to conclude an agreement. According to Axios, cited by CBS News, Trump requested several amendments during the meeting and has since sought further changes.
A White House official said: “President Trump will only make a deal that is good for America and satisfies his red lines.”
What the deal includes
CBS News reported that the proposal includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and addressing Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
If talks move forward, the deal could also allow Iran to access billions of dollars in frozen assets through sanctions relief.

The agreement was earlier described as a memorandum of understanding, pending approval from both sides.
How Iran is responding
Iranian officials have said no deal will be accepted without clear guarantees. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Tehran would not agree unless its rights are fully secured.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said: “Until a clear conclusion is reached… everything that is being said now is speculation.”
Iranian media reported that negotiations remain ongoing, with both sides continuing to propose changes.

Tehran has also called for the release of frozen assets before moving forward on nuclear talks.
Why it matters
The discussions follow months of conflict and a ceasefire that began on 8 April. Despite repeated statements from Trump that a deal was close, no formal agreement has been reached so far.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said that if the deal does not meet expectations, military action could resume.
“Our stockpiles are more than suited for that,” he said while speaking in Singapore. Pakistan has been involved in mediating the talks between the US and Iran.
