Trump dismissed a 14-point memorandum published by
Iranian state media, which outlined a ceasefire, sanctions relief, asset
unfreezing, and reconstruction aid, while insisting on Iran's full nuclear
dismantlement, open Strait of Hormuz, and end to terror funding.
A White House official confirmed U.S. terms demand
strict compliance before any relief, contrasting Iran's softer vision after
talks in Pakistan.
The clash fueled market swings and highlighted divides in negotiations started in 2025, with Israel and U.S. allies pushing for total curbs on Iran's nuclear program amid fragile ceasefires.
