United States and Iran sign memorandum of understanding to end hostilities

On June 17, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian remotely signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding to end the conflict that began on February 28 following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. The agreement facilitates a permanent ceasefire, the restoration of free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and a 60-day period for negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program and the dilution of high-enriched uranium reserves. While the U.S. government frames the deal as a success, critics argue it provides excessive economic concessions to Tehran without sufficient dismantling of nuclear infrastructure. International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Rafael Grossi confirmed that technical measures for uranium monitoring are being defined. Preliminary implementation talks involving mediators from Pakistan and Qatar were scheduled for June 19 in Burgenstock, Switzerland, though reports indicate confusion regarding the format and status of these meetings. The agreement also includes provisions for a ceasefire across all fronts, including Lebanon, raising significant security concerns in Israel. President Trump warned that the U.S. reserves the right to resume military strikes if Iran violates the terms of the agreement.
