Initial terms of US-Iran deal: ceasefire, Hormuz access, and sanctions framework

US-Iran 60-day MOU opens Strait of Hormuz; Vance admits Trump overstated resolution details

The HinduThe US and Iran signed a 60-day memorandum of understanding covering a ceasefire, Strait of Hormuz access, and a nuclear-sanctions framework, with Trump announcing ships were already beginning to move through the strait. World leaders offered a cautious welcome, with Macron declaring France ready to deploy a mission to assist in Hormuz de-mining. But Vance publicly acknowledged Trump had overstated key details of the Hormuz resolution, while European nations positioned themselves to shape the fragile peace. Israeli leaders remained privately furious, fearing Iran would pocket sanctions relief and stall.
