U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he and JD Vance have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to end a conflict involving the United States and Israel against Iran, which has lasted over 100 days. Trump stated he signed a "great deal" and promised the Strait of Hormuz would soon reopen.
the deal is done
Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian parliament and former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), is believed to have signed on behalf of Iran. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that both sides had agreed to an immediate and permanent cessation of all military operations.
Iranian state media has released a list of 14 points that reportedly form the core of the agreement. One significant point mentioned is Iran's claim that its support for regional proxies has been definitively removed from the agenda. However, JD Vance cast doubt on leaked proposals, calling them "fake information," although he has not publicly refuted some of the 14 points since the deal's announcement.
seeing a lot of fake information about a potential deal
Senior U.S. officials have confirmed that some points are part of the MOU while pushing back against others. The first point of the MOU reportedly seeks to include Iran and its regional proxies in a permanent cessation of hostilities, including in Lebanon. Despite a temporary ceasefire in place since April, exchanges between Hezbollah and Israel have continued, with Israel conducting strikes in southern Lebanon even after the deal's announcement. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the IDF would remain in security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza indefinitely.
