US President Donald Trump has instructed his negotiators not to rush\nthe peace deal with Iran, insisting the quality of the agreement is more\nimportant than speed. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump stated the\nnegotiations are proceeding \u2018regularly and constructively\u2019, adding: \u2018I\nhave instructed my representatives not to rush a deal because time is on\nour side. Both sides must use their time and do it right. No mistakes\ncan be made.\u2019<\/p>\n
Reports indicate the draft agreement includes a 60-day ceasefire\nextension, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and further negotiations on\nIran\u2019s nuclear program. Some reports suggest Iran is willing to\nsurrender around 440kg of highly enriched uranium.<\/p>\n
The progress has caused a split within the Republican Party. Senator\nTed Cruz openly criticised the move as a \u2018disastrous mistake\u2019, while\nRoger Wicker, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, viewed\nthe 60-day ceasefire as squandering all US military gains from Operation\nEpic Fury. Conversely, House Foreign Affairs Committee member Mike\nLawler defended Trump, stating the administration has successfully\nforced the remnants of Iran\u2019s regime to the negotiating table.<\/p>\n
Tensions between the two nations escalated after the US and Israel\nlaunched a major attack on Iran on February 28, which Iran retaliated\nagainst Israel and US allies in the Gulf. An April ceasefire has calmed\nthe conflict, though occasional exchanges of fire continue.<\/p>\n
Trump reiterated that Iran \u2018must understand\u2019 it cannot develop\nnuclear weapons. To maintain leverage, he confirmed the blockade of\nIranian ports, imposed since early April, will remain fully in place\nuntil an agreement is reached, certified, and signed.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for 20% of\nglobal oil supplies, has driven up global oil prices. However, US\nSecretary of State Marco Rubio gave positive signals that recent\nprogress could lead to the strait\u2019s full reopening without rental\nfees.<\/p>\n
Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei confirmed progress\ntowards a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for further talks, though he\nnoted a few critical differences remain. Pakistan\u2019s Deputy Prime\nMinister Ishaq Dar, acting as a mediator, expressed optimism that a\npositive outcome is within reach.<\/p>\n
President Trump claimed peace with Iran is imminent, though\nlogistical and technical challenges loom over the Strait of Hormuz\u2019s\nreopening. The Trump administration is pushing for a deal to reopen the\nStrait of Hormuz with Iran, but Israel and Gulf states are concerned\nabout long-term security implications. US-Iran relations have suddenly\nthawed, with Trump stating a 14-point peace draft is nearly final,\nincluding plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan previously\nhelped broker a ceasefire on April 8 and hosted high-level US-Iran talks\non April 11-12.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/trump-urges-us-negotiators-not-to-rush-iran-deal-1780321146", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
