United States President Donald Trump and Iran's president signed a memorandum of understanding on Wednesday, intended to end the ongoing Middle East war. Under the terms of the deal, Tehran will dilute its enriched uranium in exchange for substantial economic relief.
Just signed it.
The agreement was finalized during a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles, following a G7 summit. "Just signed it," Trump announced to reporters. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei confirmed the finalization, stating the document "was finalised with the signatures of the presidents."
The document was finalised with the signatures of the presidents.
The deal seeks to conclude the conflict that began on February 28 with military actions by the United States and Israel, which prompted Iran to retaliate with missile and drone strikes across the region. This escalation had effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global economic waterway.
Now it is time to test the implementation of the agreement.
"Now it is time to test the implementation of the agreement," Baqaei said. The agreement mandates Washington to immediately lift oil sanctions that have crippled Iran's economy. Furthermore, upon reaching a final accord on Iran's nuclear program, the U.S. will facilitate the release of a $300 billion reconstruction fund backed by regional nations. Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, characterized the deal as a U.S. "failure," stating, "People will see it and judge."
People will see it and judge.
