Summary
A 14-point memorandum signed Wednesday commits the U.S. and Iran to an immediate, permanent end to military operations and sets a 60-day window for negotiating a final deal.
The text pairs sanctions relief, access to frozen assets and removal of the U.S. naval blockade with Iran’s pledge not to develop nuclear weapons and to settle the fate of its enriched stockpile.
The Strait of Hormuz would reopen under the MOU, with Iran allowing free commercial passage for 60 days before talks with Oman on the waterway’s future administration.
A proposed reconstruction framework could channel at least $300 billion into Iran through regional partners, though U.S. officials said Washington is not obliged to fund it directly.
G7 leaders endorsed the accord and a U.N. Security Council resolution is planned to back it, but Trump warned he could strike Iran again if it fails to comply and Israeli skepticism remains.
