Donald Trump and Iranian officials review potential memorandum of understanding
Negotiators from the United States and Iran have reportedly drafted a 60-day memorandum of understanding aimed at extending a ceasefire and initiating talks. President Donald Trump convened with close advisors in the White House Situation Room to deliberate on the final decision. The proposed framework includes provisions for unrestricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the removal of naval mines, and a commitment from Iran not to pursue nuclear weapons. While Trump outlined requirements for the destruction of enriched uranium under IAEA supervision, Iranian sources contested these claims, stating that such terms were not included in the draft. Iran instead requested the release of 12 billion dollars in frozen assets. Furthermore, Iranian officials denied that the memorandum covers nuclear program limitations, focusing primarily on the cessation of hostilities. Both sides have yet to grant final approval for the agreement.
