Trump Tightens Iran Deal Terms Further; Tells CBS News He Is 'In No Hurry' to Close a Deal
President Trump further tightened the terms of the proposed US-Iran peace deal on May 31, 2026 — Day 92 of the US-Iran war — with no final agreement signed. US officials said Tehran may take several days to respond to Trump's new and more demanding terms. Trump told CBS News he is 'in no hurry' to finalize an Iran deal, signaling he retains leverage and is not under domestic pressure to close an agreement quickly. Al Jazeera reported Trump had tightened terms beyond the May 30 framework, which itself had already escalated demands to include destruction of Iran's 440.9 kg highly enriched uranium stockpile. The Strait of Hormuz remains partially blockaded with US naval forces maintaining their presence. Oil markets remain volatile above $100/bbl as the uncertainty continues. Iranian officials are reviewing the new terms — diplomats described the situation as 'talks about talks' as the substantive gaps remain wide.
