US President Donald Trump has urged American negotiators to take their time in securing a comprehensive agreement with Iran, saying discussions are progressing in a “constructive and orderly manner.”
In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump stressed that both sides must avoid rushing the process.
“Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes!” he wrote.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, confirmed that several issues under discussion have been resolved but warned that a final agreement is not yet close.
He said political dynamics in the United States remain inconsistent, adding that Iran is focused on securing the best possible outcome for its national interests.
Speaking in Tehran on Monday, Baqaei said, “no one can claim that the signing of an agreement is imminent.”
On the US side, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said discussions are ongoing around a proposed memorandum of understanding (MoU) that would outline a roadmap for resolving outstanding issues between both countries.
“We’re either going to have a good agreement, or we’re going to have to deal with it another way,” Rubio said during a visit to India.

Although details of the proposed MoU remain unclear, reports suggest it could include steps toward easing tensions in key strategic areas, including maritime access through the Strait of Hormuz, alongside a phased framework for addressing Iran’s nuclear programme.
However, Iranian officials have rejected suggestions of fixed timelines for nuclear discussions, insisting that such matters cannot be rushed.
The United States has repeatedly stated that a central objective of its policy is to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, while Iran maintains that its nuclear programme is strictly for peaceful purposes.
Negotiations between both countries remain ongoing, with no final agreement yet reached.
