## Prediction

In the next seven days, it is more likely than not that President Trump will delay granting full approval to the 60-day US–Iran ceasefire and nuclear talks MoU, maintaining a posture of strategic ambiguity. This allows the White House to extract additional concessions, manage domestic political optics, and test Iran’s restraint while Treasury tightens the sanctions screws. Public messaging may hint at conditional progress or 'ongoing review' rather than a definitive yes or no. The delay will frustrate European and regional intermediaries and prolong market and security uncertainty.

## Drivers

- Explicit reporting that the deal awaits Trump’s personal sign-off
- Simultaneous tightening of US sanctions and rhetorical hardening, which increases bargaining leverage
- Iran’s public denials and Khamenei’s non-approval, signaling that both sides are still haggling
