US President Donald Trump has sought to change several terms of a proposal to end the Middle East war, US media reports, according to AFP, as a finalised deal remains elusive among the parties.

The New York Times reported that Trump’s changes involved toughening the terms of the deal, and has sent the new framework back to be considered by Iran, according to officials familiar with the proceedings.

The report said it was not immediately clear what the changes entailed, but news site Axios reported Trump wanted to reinforce multiple points of the deal that he personally felt were important, such as what is done to Iran’s nuclear material.
