Trump And Pezeshkian: The 14-Point Deal Reopens The Strait Of Hormuz, Commits The US To Lifting Sanctions And Unfreezing Iranian Assets, And Has Iran Reaffirming It Will Not Pursue Nuclear Weapons, Even As Senate Democrats Call It A Capitulation And Republican Senator Bill Cassidy Warns Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions Remain Inadequately Constrained
According to BBC News, NBC News and CBS News, President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a memorandum of understanding on Wednesday aimed at ending the war that began February 28, with Trump signing a physical copy at the Palace of Versailles during a dinner hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron following the G7 summit.
The 14-point deal sets a 60-day window, extendable by mutual consent, for both sides to negotiate a final agreement. Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and allow free commercial passage for 60 days, while the US lifts its naval blockade and moves to terminate sanctions and unfreeze Iranian assets. Iran reaffirms it will not develop nuclear weapons, with a mechanism for its enriched uranium stockpile still to be agreed under IAEA monitoring.
G7 leaders backed the deal as a “historic opportunity,” while Senate Democrats called it a capitulation and Republican Senator Bill Cassidy said Iran’s nuclear ambitions remain inadequately constrained.
