Trump convenes Situation Room meeting to decide whether to accept 60-day Iran ceasefire MOU framework
President Trump held a Situation Room meeting on May 29, 2026 to decide whether to accept a proposed 60-day ceasefire memorandum of understanding with Iran, brokered through Omani back channels. Attendees included Secretary Rubio, National Security Adviser Waltz, and Defense Secretary Hegseth; the meeting ended without a final decision after Trump requested additional concessions on uranium enrichment caps. Republican hawks — Senators Wicker and Cruz — had publicly attacked the MOU's terms while Rand Paul had defended the talks.
