The world continues to await US President Donald Trump's reaction to a proposed framework to extend the current cease-fire with Iran, even as threats to resume US air strikes and American naval forces' interdiction actions in the Persian Gulf region persist.

As of late May 30, there was no official word out of the White House, a day after Trump concluded a Situation Room meeting on a possible agreement with Tehran aimed at extending the shaky truce by 60 days, opening the Strait of Hormuz, and ending the US blockade of Iranian ports.

Under the framework, other difficult issues -- such as Iran's right to enrich uranium and its overall nuclear program, along with potential easing of sanctions against Tehran -- would be negotiated during the 60-day period.

Several US media outlets on May 30 reported that Trump has sought a number of changes to the terms of the framework, indicating that much work remains to be done.

The New York Times and Axios, citing officials familiar with the discussions, separately reported that Trump's desired changes involved toughening the terms of the deal and that the US had transmitted the new details back to Tehran for consideration.

Meanwhile, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Washington was prepared to resume military action against Iran if the ongoing negotiations fail to produce an agreement, stressing that US forces remain ready despite efforts to reach a diplomatic solution.

Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue defense and security forum in Singapore on May 30, Hegseth said the US was "more than capable" of renewing attacks if necessary and that its stockpiles were "more than suited" for such operations.

The Pentagon chief said Trump was showing "patience" and was "only going to get a great deal" to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Trump's only Iran-related comment on social media was a Truth Social post saying, "Someone should explain to the Pope that...Iran cannot have a Nuclear Weapon!" It came after Leo XIV issued a call for an end to violence in the world's war-torn regions during a prayer at the Vatican, although he did not mention specific conflicts.

Trump was also spotted traveling from the White House to his golf club in Virginia.
