US, Iran inch closer to deal, timing remains unclear
Draft terms would free billions in frozen Iranian assets and lift oil sanctions if Tehran reopens the Strait of Hormuz, officials said.
- On Friday, the White House indicated that a memorandum of understanding with Iran is nearing completion, though final approval from President Donald Trump and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei remains pending.
- White House aides cited Iran's weakened control of the Strait of Hormuz and progress on language regarding shuttering Iran's nuclear weapons program as shifting factors indicating the latest potential peace deal might succeed.
- A senior administration official said the deal is "built around physical milestones, it's built around action, and built around verification," with specifics to be negotiated over 60 days immediately following the signing.
- President Donald Trump bristled at "fake news" from Iranian state media, while officials stated, "We feel good about where we are, but we're also going to see whether the Iranians care more about their economic prosperity than they do their nuclear weapons."
- The White House faced questions regarding what has changed, considering President Donald Trump has claimed to be close to a final agreement dozens of times previously since April.
