According to extensive reports in the Arab media relying on The New York Times, President Donald Trump has adopted a tougher line within the framework of the negotiations for an agreement with Iran. As reported on Al Jazeera and Al Mayadeen | Urgent, the President sent updates and revisions to the potential framework document, this after expressing his frustration with the long time Iran took to respond to the White House's proposals.
Sources indicate that Trump expressed specific concerns regarding clauses dealing with the release of funds for Iran. According to reports from Quds News Network, the revisions submitted were intended to exert pressure on Tehran to accept the outline of the agreement, which has already been submitted for the review of the Supreme Leader of Iran.
In another report by Al Mayadeen - Al Mayadeen Channel, it was emphasized that the current contacts could lead to a settlement in which the conflict would end in exchange for the removal of the Iranian blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.

The mediation process is being conducted, according to reports cited in All Arabs Breaking News, in cooperation with international mediators, including Pakistan. The broadcasts in the Arab media emphasize the American effort to dictate stricter terms before final agreement is reached by the Iranian side.
