WASHINGTON (CNA) - U.S. President Trump stated that he has received assurances from Iran confirming it will not develop nuclear weapons. Reports indicate he has sent a 'tougher' peace proposal to Tehran for review. Despite weeks of negotiations, any adjustments to this proposal could delay a formal agreement to end Middle East conflicts and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview with Fox News, Trump said, 'The only guarantee I must have is no nuclear weapons. They have agreed to it.' However, Tehran remains skeptical, and significant differences persist. Iran has demanded the unfreezing of $12 billion in assets before substantive talks on nuclear issues, and has dismissed Trump's claims about the destruction of enriched uranium as 'baseless.'
