Graham now says Iran MOU signing will be ‘beneficial’ to US

  • On Wednesday, Iran and the Trump administration signed a Memorandum of Understanding intended to restart formal negotiations and facilitate a broader agreement, marking a significant diplomatic shift following years of regional tensions.
  • Following military failures in 2025, Iran adopted a 'not losing' strategy, aiming to survive and maintain low-level pressure rather than seeking decisive victory, which prompted Tehran to engage in indirect talks to salvage regional influence.
  • Tehran signaled openness to indirect mediation through Oman and Qatar to navigate the diplomatic impasse with Trump, after previous attempts to strengthen ties with China and Russia failed to generate significant investment.
  • Conversely, Iran views the Memorandum of Understanding as a tactical move to prolong negotiations and return to status quo, despite critics arguing the deal empowers Tehran and leaves Israel isolated.
  • Analysts note that precision strikes on IRGC positions alone are unlikely to demoralize leadership, as the regime's ideology remains rooted in past conflicts, suggesting Tehran may continue its endurance strategy despite ongoing external pressure.
