Iran Deal Turmoil

President Donald Trump says the United States and Iran have electronically signed a preliminary memorandum of understanding aimed at ending months of war, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and creating a 60-day window for negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program. The White House is selling the framework as a major victory, but the text remains unreleased and many key issues — sanctions relief, frozen assets, oil sales, U.S. withdrawal timelines and Iran’s nuclear limits — appear unresolved or disputed. Reports of leaked 12- or 14-point versions describe possible concessions including temporary oil-sanctions relief, Hormuz arrangements and a broader regional ceasefire, fueling criticism from analysts, Republicans and Iran hawks. Trump has promoted the agreement at the G7 summit and warned that “all hell will rain down” if Iran violates commitments, while Vice President JD Vance has framed the next 60 days as a probationary test for Tehran.
