Trump Iran nuclear weapons deal framework
The New York Times and Axios reported that Trump had dispatched a revised framework for a possible deal with Iran. The reports described the terms as "tougher", but they did not specify what changes or demands the new proposal contained.
Trump previously said any agreement must block Iran from developing nuclear weapons and also secure the re-opening of the blockaded Strait of Hormuz. The details of how those aims would be enforced or monitored under the reported framework remained unclear.

Trump Iran nuclear weapons tensions in region
While diplomatic moves continued, Israeli forces advanced in southern Lebanon and seized a key mountain crowned by a Crusader-era fortress. The capture of Beaufort castle, near Nabatiyeh, marked Israel’s deepest push into Lebanon in more than 25 years.
The Israeli advance followed days of heavy clashes and airstrikes against nearby villages, where troops engaged Hezbollah members in difficult terrain. At the same time, the US military said it disabled a Gambia-flagged cargo ship headed for an Iranian port by firing a missile into its engine room.
The combination of Trump’s renewed push on Iran nuclear weapons guarantees, Israeli operations around Beaufort castle, and the US action against the Gambia-flagged vessel underlined how diplomacy, sanctions and military steps were all shaping the latest phase of tensions involving Iran and its regional rivals.
