U.S. President Donald Trump held a two-hour meeting with his top advisers at the White House to discuss the possibility of a deal with Iran aimed at extending the ceasefire. The meeting, held in the Situation Room, ended without any clarity on the next course of action.
Ahead of the meeting, President Trump said that any agreement to prolong the ceasefire would require Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, commit to never developing a nuclear weapon, and allow the United States to remove its enriched uranium stockpile.
However, Iran has maintained that its nuclear programme is solely for civilian purposes. U.S. Vice-President J.D. Vance said on Thursday (May 28, 2026) that the sides continued to debate “a couple of language points” and he couldn’t say whether Mr. Trump would approve the proposal.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on Friday (May 29, 2026), in a post on X, said that his country has “no trust in guarantees or words,” only actions, and “no step will be taken before the other side acts.”
