Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, he said the agreement was \u201cnot final\u201d and indicated that Washington would closely monitor Iran\u2019s compliance with its commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to statements made by Trump during the G7 summit, the memorandum explicitly states that Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon. The U.S. president added that the text of the agreement would be released publicly at a later stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deal is also expected to facilitate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy corridor that has faced disruptions amid recent tensions. U.S. officials have described the agreement as a mechanism to de-escalate the conflict and create conditions for broader diplomatic engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iranian officials acknowledged the memorandum and signaled readiness to proceed with talks, although details of the final arrangement remain under discussion. Analysts view the agreement as the most significant diplomatic breakthrough between Washington and Tehran in years, though its long-term success will depend on the outcome of negotiations scheduled over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Jwan Shekaki<\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the United States and Iran was signed during his visit to France, marking a significant step toward ending months of hostilities and opening a new round of negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
