Donald Trump said unfrozen Iranian assets would be used to buy US wheat, soybeans and corn, a claim Iran has not confirmed, while India lifted wartime commercial LPG curbs and Aramco resumed loading at Ras Tanura.

60 Days at the Brink: The US-Iran Interim Nuclear Accord, IAEA Inspections, and the Battle for Control of the Strait of Hormuz
Overview
The report examines the recent temporary agreement between the United States and Iran, which brings the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the center of monitoring Iran’s nuclear program. Under this accord, Iran’s nuclear activities are subject to IAEA oversight, including mandatory site inspections, aiming to increase transparency and build trust. A memorandum of understanding sets a 60-day window for both countries to resolve disputes, with discussions covering nuclear issues and regional tensions. The effectiveness of this arrangement depends on Iran’s cooperation with inspections, making the outcome of these negotiations crucial for regional stability and the future of Iran’s nuclear program.
