What happened

President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding intended to end more than 100 days of war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and start a 60-day push toward a final agreement. The framework suspends military operations, lifts the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports, relaunches nuclear negotiations and offers economic relief tied to compliance, while leaving major questions over enrichment, sanctions and long-term enforcement unresolved. Iran’s supreme leader approved the pact despite saying he held a “different” view, and Vice President JD Vance said Tehran was honoring the deal so far while insisting Washington was not giving Iran “a cent.” Trump defended the accord as a victory and even “probably” unconditional surrender, but the preliminary nature of the document means the hardest negotiations are only beginning.
