(MENAFN- Live Mint) After meeting with his advisers on Friday to make a "final determination," US President Donald Trump reportedly sent back changes to the proposed deal with Iran.

Citing officials, CNN reported that the proposed changes have now extended the back-and-forth negotiations into another week. While the exact changes to the text weren't made immediately clear, officials said that Trump has insisted on tougher language around Tehran's nuclear commitments and its pledge to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway that has been shut since US and Israel attacked the Islamic Republic in late February.

Trump also expressed concerns about what financial relief Tehran might get as part of the deal, keen to avoid comparisons with the“pallets of cash” that were delivered under the Obama-era nuclear deal he derides as weak.

The latest set of proposed changes comes a week after the US President declared the deal with Iran was "largely negotiated" and signaled the end of the war was close.

This is a developing story. More details awaited.
