President Donald Trump sent Iranian officials a revised set of conditions for ending the war in Iran on or before May 31, 2026. The updated framework tightens the original proposed terms and was returned for further review. One official said the revisions were designed to speed up the process by reinforcing points Trump considers essential, including arrangements for Iran’s nuclear material.

It was not immediately clear what specific alterations were made. Officials indicated Tehran may take days to respond, with one senior official telling Axios that Trump was informed it could take three days. “They’re literally in caves, and they’re not using email,” the official said.

The same official added: “There will be a deal. The imminence of it, we’ll see. We’re willing to wait so the president gets what he asks for. It could be a week. It could be less. ” Trump has said his priorities include Iran agreeing never to develop nuclear weapons and the reopening of the blockaded Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20 percent of the world’s oil supply transits.

On May 30, 2026, the Iranian military’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters reasserted control over the strait and warned that foreign commercial and military vessels would be targeted if they did not comply with passage regulations. Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on May 31, 2026, that Tehran would not agree to any deal unless it fully secures Iranian rights.

“There is no trust in the enemy’s words and promises,” Ghalibaf said.

Tehran has repeatedly stated it does not intend to build nuclear weapons. In March 2025, Tulsi Gabbard testified to Congress that Washington continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon. S.

And Israel attacked Iran on February 28, 2026. No timeline for an Iranian response has been announced.
