The move delays a definitive resolution despite Trump previously announcing on social media that he would make a “final determination” during the two-hour advisory session, which ended without a conclusive decision.

While the exact modifications Trump requested were not immediately clear, officials stated the president is insisting on tougher language surrounding Iran’s nuclear commitments and its pledge to reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz.

Trump also voiced strong concerns regarding the scope of financial relief provided to Iran under the proposed terms.

Officials noted the president is highly cautious of any comparisons to the “pallets of cash” delivered under the Obama-era nuclear deal, an agreement he frequently scorns as weak.

These new demands are a big change from last week. Back then, Trump said the deal was “largely finalized” and that the fighting would end soon. After that, U.S. officials reported steady progress toward an agreement to stop the conflict, reopen the shipping route, and start talks on Iran's nuclear program.

But the two countries still disagree on big issues. Trump posted on social media that the U.S. would take and destroy Iran's nuclear materials. Meanwhile, Iran has repeatedly said it is not talking about its nuclear program during these meetings.

A similar divide exists over funding. Trump claimed there has been no discussion of exchanging money as part of the pact. Meanwhile, Iran maintains that financial relief must be included in any final agreement.

How negotiators intend to bridge these contradictions remains unclear as the bargaining over the deal’s final language moves slowly forward.
