No deal announced after Trump meeting to make ‘final determination’ on Iran

US President Donald Trump has held a meeting with top aides to make a “final determination” about a framework for extending the ceasefire with Iran, but it concluded without clarity on the next steps.

Posting on Truth Social beforehand, Trump said Iran must agree to never have a nuclear weapon or bomb, that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened for “unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions”, and that any mines in the strait be “terminated”.

An adviser to Iran’s supreme leader on Saturday accused Trump of “betraying diplomacy” by making what he described as excessive demands.

Iran says it is not negotiating on its nuclear programme – insisting it is wholly for peaceful purposes.
