Trump Holds Situation Room Briefing on Iran MoU — No Signature; Ghalibaf: 'No Understanding Has Been Reached' — Day 92

President Trump held a White House Situation Room meeting on May 30, 2026 (Day 92) to be briefed on the tentative 60-day MoU framework that US and Iranian negotiators had outlined. Trump did not sign the deal. He told mediators he needed additional time before a 'final determination' and relayed new demands — including verifiable guarantees on unrestricted Hormuz passage, Iran's commitment to never acquire a nuclear weapon, an agreed disposal plan for highly enriched uranium stockpiles, and the unfreezing of Iranian assets in a sequenced manner linked to Hormuz reopening. The expanded demands did not go down well in Tehran. Iran's Parliamentary Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf issued a public statement saying: 'No understanding has yet been reached. Tehran will judge any agreement by actions, not words, and will take no steps unless Washington moves first.' White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller countered by claiming Iran had already made significant concessions, citing the planned reopening of the strait — but the public contradiction between Miller's framing and Ghalibaf's statement underscored the continued gap between US and Iranian positions on the MoU. The June 2–3 Doha round remained the nominal diplomatic gate for any formal agreement, though the Situation Room outcome deepened doubt about whether a deal could be signed before that round.
