U.S. President Donald Trump stated that even if he enters into negotiations with Iran, he would only accept an agreement that "serves U.S. interests and meets his redlines." A White House official provided this response on the 29th (local time) to a question regarding the results of a senior national security team meeting on Iran negotiations held in the White House Situation Room.

During the meeting, which lasted about two hours, the official particularly emphasized that "Iran can never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons." Just before the meeting, President Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social, stating that he would "hold a meeting in the Situation Room to make a final decision." However, no specific conclusions were announced even after the meeting concluded. In relation to this, The New York Times (NYT) reported that President Trump had postponed his final judgment on Iran's proposal.

Based on the White House explanation and foreign news reports, it is interpreted that President Trump judged that the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran failed to sufficiently meet the core conditions he had set forth. His top demands, presented through his Truth Social post, are as follows:

• A ban on Iran's nuclear weapons development • The full opening of the Strait of Hormuz without tolls • The immediate removal of Iranian sea mines • U.S.-led excavation and removal of highly enriched uranium buried in Iranian nuclear facilities

Furthermore, President Trump clarified his stance that he would not immediately accept Iranian demands, such as the unfreezing of assets, stating, "There will be absolutely no financial transactions with Iran until a further announcement is made."
