What happened

US President Donald Trump’s campaign to pressure Iran has failed to significantly alter Tehran’s position on a peace agreement with Washington, The New York Times reported.

Why it matters

According to the newspaper, the campaign "does not appear to have decisively shifted Iran’s stance on its nuclear program." On May 23, the US president stated that the draft of the future agreement with Iran has been largely agreed upon.

Common ground

He noted that he had spoken by phone with the leaders of Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey and discussed with them a draft memorandum of understanding as part of a peace deal with Iran.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
