The deal is structured as a framework agreement, establishing a 60-day ceasefire. During this period, the parties are expected to negotiate a more permanent peace treaty. However, numerous contentious issues remain unresolved. Notably, the parties have not reached a consensus on the future of Iran's nuclear program, including uranium enrichment levels. Trump reiterated that any easing of U.S. sanctions against Iran is conditional on Iran's behavior, stating, "If they do what they should, it starts to apply."

The U.S. must live up to its commitments. It must ensure that the Zionist regime also considers its commitments regarding Lebanon.

Past agreements between the U.S. and Iran have seen disagreements over whether Lebanon is included. The current deal reportedly encompasses the conflict in Lebanon, where Israel has escalated its military operations. Iran's spokesperson, Baqaei, emphasized that "the U.S. must live up to its commitments. It must ensure that the Zionist regime also considers its commitments regarding Lebanon." Trump has previously threatened to resume U.S. attacks if a deal on Iran's nuclear program is not reached, asserting that Iran will only be allowed to enrich uranium for non-military purposes, "Forever."

They are only allowed to enrich for non-military purposes. Forever.
