An initial framework under discussion preserves the core of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action (JCPOA) – scrapped by Trump in 2018 during his first term, eight sources said.
A deal may not look radically different to the former pact, which he called the worst in history, but would extend duration to 25 years, tighten verification, and expand so-called sunset clauses that pause but don‘t completely dismantle aspects of Iran‘s nuclear program, all the sources said.
(May 2, 2025)
The 2015 JCPOA was formed within a multilateral framework based on necessity but ultimately failed under political pressure from its opponents. However, today’s conditions are different. The bilateral negotiation process presents a more favorable path, influenced by Trump’s ambitions and changing regional dynamics. Although obstacles remain, particularly Israel’s continued hope to persuade the United States to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities and its concern that the United States will focus on East Asia and reduce its military presence in the Middle East after an agreement with Iran, as well as the inclusion of Iran’s missile industry in the agreement, which could lead to a deadlock, the six factors outlined here indicate that diplomacy has once again found an opportunity to achieve a faster and more durable agreement.
The episode has left some senior White House officials questioning the need for a traditional National Security Council and content to leave Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whom Trump on Thursday named as Waltz’s interim replacement, in a caretaker role for quite some time, a decision that will likely diminish an institution that has had a powerful role in shaping the foreign policy of modern presidencies. And it sidelines a key figure in the White House with a long track record of favoring military intervention, officials said.

“We are at a watershed moment as events in Gaza intensify, with more innocent lives lost each day. British Muslim communities, alongside countless others across the country, are simply calling for a foreign policy rooted in justice, humanity, and international law.
“We have rightly mobilised a coalition of the willing to oppose Russia’s illegal occupation of Ukraine, yet the illegal occupation of Palestine and the mass killing of Palestinian civilians is met with silence. We urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to show moral leadership and act swiftly.“
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) has deliver a letter signed by over 300 Muslim groups to 10 Downing Street urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer to show “moral leadership” and swiftly recognise the Palestinian State.
The signatories, comprising of organisations from every region of the UK, including mosques, student societies, charities and advocacy groups, are calling on the British government to urgently:

„Wir haben Waffen geliefert, und wir werden Waffen liefern“, stellte Scholz in seiner Rede vor den Abgeordneten klar. Die Bundesregierung habe Entscheidungen getroffen, „die auch sicherstellen, dass es demnächst weitere Lieferungen geben wird“. In welchem Umfang welche Waffen geliefert werden sollen, ließ Scholz dabei aber offen.
Zuvor hatten die Unionsparteien der Ampelkoalition mangelnde Unterstützung Israels vorgeworfen – auch hinsichtlich von Waffenexporten.

The strikes came after Druze clerics and armed factions reaffirmed their loyalty to Damascus. They urged the new authorities to appoint local officials to government posts in Sweida province, heartland of the Druze religious group.
Their statement followed fighting between Druze fighters and Syrian forces, including government-affiliated groups that killed more than 100 people in Jaramana and Sahnaya near Damascus and in Sweida, the Observatory said.
