Trump listed two main conditions for any deal. He said stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons and reopening the blockaded Strait of Hormuz remain top priorities. "The one guarantee that I have to have is that there will be no nuclear weapons.
They've agreed to that, and it was very interesting," he told his daughter-in-law Lara Trump in an interview broadcast on her Fox News program. The statement came as reports emerged that Trump had sent a tougher peace proposal back to Tehran. Any changes to the proposal could further delay a formal agreement.
