Trump Signs 60-Day Agreement with Iran to Continue Negotiations

President Donald Trump has signed a preliminary agreement with Iran, establishing a 60-day period for further negotiations to reach a more definitive accord. The White House announced that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also signed the document, which was initially electronically agreed upon by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. Trump confirmed the signing, stating, "It's signed. Signed in Versailles. I just signed it." This development comes amid ongoing tensions and follows recent exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah after the initial announcement of the U.S.-Iran deal. The agreement addresses critical issues, including the management of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway. According to the White House, Iran will begin charging passage fees for ships transiting the strait after 60 days. Furthermore, Iran is expected to collaborate with Oman and other Gulf states on a broader arrangement for managing the strait. U.S. officials, however, express skepticism that Gulf states will accept a system of passage fees, anticipating that Iran will aggressively assert its rights in the region. The agreement also touches upon the conflict in Lebanon, with Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson warning that Israeli attacks on Lebanon would be considered a violation of the memorandum, especially following recent Israeli actions in the area.
