United States and Iran reach a memorandum on nuclear program and regional stability

U.S. Vice President JD Vance announced that the United States and Iran have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending hostilities. A central component of this agreement is the return of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to Iranian territory. The plan outlines the destruction of Iran's high-enriched uranium stockpiles under the supervision of the IAEA and U.S. monitoring mechanisms. Vance stated that compliance by Iran would result in economic and political benefits for the country. Additionally, the agreement reportedly includes provisions for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Vance expressed confidence that Israel would eventually support this agreement, despite existing differences between Washington and the Netanyahu administration regarding the conflict's resolution. The Vice President emphasized that the primary goal is ensuring Iran does not develop nuclear weapons in the long term. Further details were communicated via official statements and a video message released by the Vice President.
