What the Trump-Iran agreement says about Lebanon, Hormuz and uranium
The memorandum also calls for a 30-day U.S. force withdrawal, a 60-day no-charge shipping window and at least $300 billion for Iran’s reconstruction.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding with Iran in Versailles, as the United States officially released details of the agreement aimed at ending the war.
- Negotiations between the United States and Iran stalled over control of the Strait of Hormuz and uranium enrichment, as US-Israeli strikes triggered a naval blockade that disrupted global oil and gas supplies.
- Under the memo, Iran will downblend 440.9kg of uranium enriched to 60 percent under International Atomic Energy Agency supervision, though the agreement allows Iran to maintain its nuclear program's current status quo.
- Military operations in Lebanon will cease under the agreement, which requires the United States to end its naval blockade within 30 days and pledges at least $300bn in regional reconstruction funds for Iran.
- With 60 days to finalize the deal, Trump faces skepticism from nuclear security expert Andrea Stricker, who warns the memo lacks strict verification measures for Iran's materials, especially since Israel is not a signatory.
