Memorandum of Understanding Between the US and Iran Approaches Expiration Date
The 60-day negotiating period ended without a final accord, and the White House has not said whether the memorandum can be extended.
- A framework agreement between the United States and Iran is due to expire Monday, marking a diplomatic test as the conflict nears six months. The White House did not immediately respond when asked if the memorandum could be extended.
- Signed in June, the preliminary deal initiated a 60-day negotiating period to reach a final resolution on Iran's nuclear program. Since then, both nations have repeatedly accused each other of violating the agreement.
- Talks have stalled amid a dispute over the Hormuz Strait, where shipping traffic has been disrupted for months. Vessels continue to come under fire as both nations claim to control the waterway.
- During a Friday speech, President Trump claimed he would declare the Hormuz Strait United States territory. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi responded, stating, "Iran neither fears threats nor cowers before displays of power."
- Shifting resources away from the Pacific, Central Command released photos Saturday of the USS George Washington moving into the Middle East. The aircraft carrier is expected to relieve the USS Abraham Lincoln following a record-long deployment.
