Trump Says 'No Hurry' on Iran Deal in Fox News Interview; Sends Negotiators Back With Amendments — Day 93

President Trump said in a Fox News interview on May 31, 2026 (Day 93) that he was in 'no hurry' to conclude a deal with Iran, reversing the near-acceptance signaled on Day 91 via his Truth Social post. US media reported that Trump asked his negotiators to return to counterparts with several amendments to the preliminary MoU text — including on Hormuz management (unrestricted passage, no tolls), the nuclear program (a hard commitment to never acquire a nuclear weapon plus an agreed HEU disposal timeline), and the sequencing of Iranian asset unfreezing. Fox News Digital headlined the outcome: 'Trump yet to make final determination on Iran deal after Situation Room meeting.' CBS News live updates confirmed Trump's 'no hurry' framing. The MoU that Bloomberg had reported as 'agreed pending Trump sign-off' on May 29 now appeared, as CBS News noted, to be 'at best, a work in progress.' Iran's chief negotiator had stated on May 30 that 'no understanding has been reached,' and Trump's May 31 comments aligned with that framing — validating Tehran's public denials over Washington's earlier optimism. The June 2–3 Doha fourth round of direct US-Iran talks remained on the calendar but now faced a significant credibility test given the publicly acknowledged gap between US amendment demands and Iranian red lines on enrichment and nuclear sovereignty.
