Trump Conditioning Memorandum of Understanding Approval on Khamenei's Consent, U.S. Official States

A senior U.S. official has indicated that President Trump will not give his approval to a memorandum of understanding unless he receives confirmation that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has endorsed the agreement.

According to the official's account, Trump has made Iranian leadership's acceptance a precondition for moving forward with the accord. This approach signals the administration's intention to ensure any agreement reaches the highest levels of Iran's decision-making hierarchy before proceeding.
