US officials have indicated that Tehran could take days to respond to Trump’s pressure on a deal that could end the three-month war.

President Donald Trump wanted to change several words to end the US-Israel war on Iran, according to media reports in the United States, as the agreement to be concluded is still difficult.
The New York Times reported on Saturday that Trump’s changes involve expanding the deal, and the US has also sent the new plan to Iran for consideration, according to officials familiar with the situation.

The report said it was unclear what the change would entail. However, Axios reported that Trump wants to push forward with several aspects of the deal that he considers important, such as what to do with Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
A US official told Axios that Trump was told it could take three days for Iran to respond.
“They’re in caves, and they’re not using email,” the official told Axios.
“There will be an agreement. We will see how close it is. We are ready to wait for the president to get what he is asking for. It could be a week. It could be less. It could be more. At the beginning of the week, we hope to have something,” the official added.
The new tweaks could prolong negotiations between the parties for several days before a decision is reached on whether the deal will end the war, which began when the US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28.
US sources told the AFP news agency that the proposal was awaiting Trump’s signature, but did not make a decision after a White House Situation Room meeting on Friday.
Trump has said his proposed economic measures include Iran agreeing not to develop nuclear weapons and reopening the closed Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20 percent of the world’s oil flows.
On Saturday, the headquarters of the Iranian army in Khatam al-Anbiya Central confirmed the control of the country on the river, warning that foreign merchant and military vessels would be targeted if they did not follow the rules governing the passage.
Tehran has repeatedly said it does not want to develop nuclear weapons. In March 2025, Tulsi Gabbard, former Director of National Intelligence in the US, testified in Congress that Washington “continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon”.
