President Donald Trump has indicated he is willing to extend the 60-day deadline for reaching a nuclear deal with Iran, according to a report by the open-source intelligence platform OSINTdefender. The report, published Thursday morning, says Trump is prepared to go beyond the original timeframe amid ongoing negotiations. The claim has not yet been corroborated by other sources.
A Thursday morning report by the open-source intelligence platform OSINTdefender says President Donald Trump has signaled willingness to extend the 60-day deadline for a nuclear deal with Iran. The report, which cites no named official, comes hours after Trump himself, at a G7 press conference Wednesday evening, committed to signing a deal within 48 hours and said the 60-day deadline was 'not rigid' — the latest in a fast-moving sequence of statements from the president on the timeline.
The thread has moved rapidly since Wednesday evening. At 19:01 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported Trump saying the memorandum of understanding with Iran would be signed 'within a short time,' confirmed a copy had been sent to Israel, and stated the deal may be signed 'shortly, tomorrow, maybe the next day.' In subsequent dispatches from the same press conference, Trump specified signing 'tomorrow or the next day,' said technical discussions on nuclear weapons stockpiles would begin immediately, and stated the 60-day deadline was 'not rigid.' These claims remain Trump's own statements; no final agreement has been formally confirmed by the White House. The initial 60-day deadline was first reported by Al-Arabiya on June 6 and later described by an American official on June 10 as a clock that was running out. Trump's language has evolved from a firm ultimatum to a target he himself has softened.
As The Zioneer has reported since June 6, the 60-day deadline originated from Trump's instruction to mediators. On June 12, Trump said the US and Iran were close to a 60-day ceasefire deal. On June 15, he told Prime Minister Netanyahu he was determined to finalize an agreement. The current OSINTdefender report is the first unverified source to indicate flexibility beyond the original 60 days beyond Trump's own remarks.
The OSINTdefender claim has not been independently corroborated. OSINTdefender is a widely followed platform but not a formal government or media outlet. Until confirmed by an official statement or additional reporting, the report should be treated with caution.
