U.S. president Donald Trump claims that he instructed negotiators to "do not rush to enter into an agreement" with Iran after previously suggesting that the agreement was imminent.
The agreement is reported to include an extension of the ceasefire for 60 days, the reopening of the Ormuz Strait and a plan for further negotiations on the Iranian atomic programme.
In a post on social media, Trump said that "constructive" conversations are ongoing, but "both sides must devote time and do it right".
Trump said on Saturday that the agreement was "to a large degree negotiated", which sparked speculation that the announcement could be inevitable.
Iranian officials gave akin signals on the weekend, and the abroad Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said that both sides are "very close and very far away" from reaching an agreement.
According to the U.S. media, the agreement under consideration is not the final solution, but leaves any of the most hard issues to negociate later, including the scope and date of the abolition of sanctions against Iran, the release of frozen Iranian funds and Washington's request that Iran limit its atomic ambitions.
On Monday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking to journalists in Delhi, said that there is "a solid issue on the table concerning their ability to open the strait" and "to enter into very real, significant, time-limited atomic negotiations."
The notified agreement divided the Republicans, and any publically say it is besides mild towards Iran.
