Trump signals decision on Iran deal as he heads to situation room meeting | LIVE BLOG
US President Trump said he will meet in the White House Situation Room to make a final determination on a potential agreement with Iran, signaling approval may be imminent
The White House confirmed on Thursday that US and Iranian negotiators reached an agreement on a deal proposal that would extend the current ceasefire by another 60 days, giving both sides time to hold nuclear talks.
In reports confirmed by the White House, US sources said that US President Trump still needs to sign off on his agreement to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and that he has yet to decide whether to approve the proposal.
Meanwhile, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news outlet quoted a source close to Tehran’s negotiating team as saying that Tehran has not yet given its final approval to the MoU. A source also told i24NEWS on Thursday that Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has not yet approved the agreement, a key factor as to why Trump has also not given final approval.

He added that no funds would be exchanged “until further notice” and said he would head to the Situation Room to make a final decision on the deal.
