was \u201clargely negotiated\u201d. \u201cFinal aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly,\u201d the US president posted on his Truth Social platform, without giving details.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;n &lt;li&gt;n  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trump emphasised the deal was still \u201csubject to finalisation\u201d&lt;\/strong&gt;, while news reports said a draft indicated the two sides would address contentious issues about Iran\u2019s nuclear program only after an initial pact was reached.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;n &lt;li&gt;n  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Leaders from Middle Eastern countries&lt;\/strong&gt; including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain as well as Pakistani and Turkish representatives joined a

nuclear deal with Tehran would be \u201cthe exact opposite\u201d of the one agreed by Barack Obama, which Trump pulled out of in 2018.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The 2015 deal limited Iran\u2019s

that the \u201cfinal aspects and details\u201d of a memorandum of understanding were still being discussed and \u201cwill be announced shortly\u201d, with the strait of Hormuz reopening as part of the deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">But as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2026\/may\/24\/iran-leader-and-security-council-still-need-to-approve-peace-deal-with-us\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Patrick Wintour reports<\/a>, Trump said the following day that he was not rushing into a deal, and that \u201cboth sides must take their time to get it right \u2026 There can be no mistakes!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The president also insisted \u201cthe US blockade of Iran\u2019s ports will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cNobody has seen\u201d the deal \u201cor knows what it is\u201d, the US president later added. \u201cIt isn\u2019t even fully negotiated yet. So don\u2019t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Facing the mounting criticism from inside his own party, <a

feet<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">As we move into Monday morning in Tehran, the world is still awaiting further details about the evolving <strong>US-Iran deal<\/strong>. But the longer we wait, the more likely it seems there are still differences between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Here\u2019s what we know so far:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<li class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The US and Iran deal is not expected to be finalized today, according to multiple sources, with more still needing to be ironed out. US secretary of state <strong>Marco Rubio<\/strong> told the New York Times an agreement with Iran had garnered regional support but a nuclear deal couldn\u2019t be achieved \u201cin 72 hours on the back of a napkin\u201d. His comments came after<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/donaldtrump\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong> told his negotiators \u201cnot to rush into a deal\u201d with Iran to end the three-month war.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<li class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Trump confirmed on Sunday that talks are still ongoing. \u201cIt isn\u2019t even fully negotiated yet. So don\u2019t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about,\u201d he posted on Truth Social. \u201cUnlike those before me who should have solved this problem many years ago, I don\u2019t make bad deals!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<li class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Similarly, Trump spoke on the phone with various Arab and Muslim leaders on Saturday. During the call, he encouraged the leaders to sign on to the <strong>Abraham Accords<\/strong>, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2026\/05\/24\/trump-iran-war-israel-muslim-countries-abraham-accords\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Axios<\/a>, and establish diplomatic relations with Israel. The Arab and Muslim leaders were surprised by the US president\u2019s request and stayed silent on the call, prompting Trump to jokingly ask if the leaders were still there. Currently, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Qatar do not have diplomatic relations with Israel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<li class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Reports suggest that Israel is pressuring the US government to take some hardline stances while it continues to negotiate with Iran. Drop Site News <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jeremyscahill\/status\/2058317677383537131\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">reported<\/a> that a senior Iranian official said Israel is attempting to undermine parts of the deal. \u201cWe hope that the US administration will make its decision independently of external influence and in favor of the broader collective interests of all parties involved,\u201d the official reportedly said.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<li class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Despite posturing by the US over the weekend, Iran\u2019s Tasnim News Agency said the US government is not budging on some clauses of the agreement, including with the issue of releasing frozen Iranian assets. An Al Jazeera English reporter said today the ceasefire in Lebanon has also become a sticking point, with Israel pushing the US to include language in the deal that would allow for further Israeli military operations in Lebanon.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<li class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Rubio scolded a BBC reporter during an event in India this Sunday. The reporter asked Rubio about a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global-development\/2026\/mar\/03\/minab-school-bombing-how-the-worst-mass-casualty-event-of-the-iran-war-unfolded-a-visual-guide\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">deadly strike<\/a> on a school in Iran that killed 120 schoolgirls on the first day of the war on Iran, pressing the secretary of state whether it was \u201creckless\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;world\/live\/2026\/may\/24\/iran-deal-strait-of-hormuz-trump-middle-east-crisis-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-6a136a248f089865cf41c368&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-6a136a248f089865cf41c368&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Middle East crisis live: oil prices hit two-week low amid optimism that US and Iran are close to peace deal&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Middle East crisis live: oil prices hit two-week low amid optimism that US and Iran are close to peace deal&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/live\/2026\/may\/24\/iran-deal-strait-of-hormuz-trump-middle-east-crisis-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6a136a248f089865cf41c368#block-6a136a248f089865cf41c368\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/p>\n<p>Updated at\u00a0<time datetime=\"2026-05-24T21:58:09.000Z\" data-locale=\"en-gb\" title=\"Sunday, 24 May 2026 at 22:58 British Summer Time\">22.58 BST<\/time><\/p>\n<\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<aside data-ad-slot=\"true\" class=\"ad-slot-container ad-slot-desktop dcr-jko40v\"\/>\n<aside data-ad-slot=\"true\" class=\"ad-slot-container dcr-jko40v\"\/>\n<article id=\"block-6a135b908f08c1daf13f4507\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The liberation of frozen assets belonging to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/iran\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Iran<\/a> have become an important part of the US-Iran negotiations, with Iran pushing for an unfreezing of assets worldwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">But why are countries around the world temporarily holding onto Iran\u2019s assets?<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Since 1979, sanctions on Iran have crippled its economy. Throughout the years, the justification for US-imposed sanctions has shifted. At first, the US sanctioned Iran due to the 1979 hostage crisis. But in recent years following, sanctions have been amplified over the country\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The sanctions placed on Iran have prevented the country from accessing its assets, like money from oil sales, frozen by various countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Multiple different countries are holding Iran\u2019s frozen assets, including Japan, Iraq, China, India and the US. Experts estimate the frozen Iranian assets are worth around $100bn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">When the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/us-israel-war-on-iran\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">US-Israel war on Iran<\/a> began, Iran pushed for assets to be released before any negotiations could begin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Now, the unfreezing of those assets seem to be key parts of the negotiations between the US and Iran. Various reports claim that the unfreezing of assets has become a sticking point in the negotiations.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\"
