Trump Says the War on Iran Is over. Is It Really?
The memorandum would extend the ceasefire by 60 days and start talks on nuclear limits, sanctions relief and shipping access, officials said.
- President Donald Trump officially signed a deal with Iran on Friday to end his three-and-a-half-month war against the Islamic Republic. Formally called a "memorandum of understanding," the agreement serves as a framework for future negotiations.
- Extending the shaky ceasefire for 60 days, the deal reopens the Strait of Hormuz to shipping while initiating complex negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. This framework intends to serve as a starting gun for lasting peace.
- The United States is reportedly flooding Iran with at least $12 billion in sanctions relief, while Vice President J.D. Vance claims the strait will be "opened in a toll-free way" despite potential fees.
- In a Monday press conference, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu distanced Israel from the agreement, vowing that the nation's "struggle is not over." Iran supports Lebanon's Hezbollah militia, which remains a primary concern for Israel.
- Replicating failures of the Joint Comprehensive Plan, critics argue Trump has "effectively become Obama version 2.0," as the framework guarantees only that the United States and Iran will discuss new nuclear limits.

In just under four months of war, the U.S. Trump's targets in conflict with Iran have not come one metre closer. The next 60 days will have it in them. They could bring a result that is worse than the situation before the war.
