- US President Donald Trump reportedly leaned toward approving a deal with Iran through Thursday afternoon.
- Hesitation is linked to his demand for firm Iranian commitment without any later withdrawal.
US President Donald Trump was leaning toward signing an agreement with Iran as of Thursday afternoon, according to Axios, citing senior American officials, amid ongoing internal debate over final conditions.
The report suggests momentum had built within the administration in favor of moving forward with a potential deal, but key reservations remain over enforcement and durability.
Officials told Axios that one of the main factors slowing the process is Trump’s insistence that Iran must fully commit to the agreement without any possibility of later backtracking or reinterpretation.
The hesitation reflects broader concerns within Washington over how to structure guarantees that would prevent future breakdowns in the agreement.
Despite apparent progress, the timing of any formal signing remains uncertain. Discussions are continuing over the remaining disputed provisions, with officials signaling that final approval will depend on securing clearer enforcement mechanisms and political assurances from Tehran.
The development underscores the fragile nature of ongoing US-Iran diplomatic efforts, as both sides attempt to narrow remaining gaps without derailing the broader framework.
