The MoU was signed just ten days ago. Now the Iran deal crisis is already here. The U.S. struck Iranian targets on June 27 after Iran attacked a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran claims it retaliated. Both sides blame each other. Meanwhile Hezbollah is losing in Lebanon and Iran's own ambassador was expelled from Beirut.
Israel's concerns about the MoU focus on Iran's nuclear program, missile capabilities, proxy networks, and the next 60 days of negotiations. We examine which concerns are supported by the published text, which depend on future developments, and how differing U.S. and Israeli priorities may shape the final agreement.
The US Iran ceasefire deal is real. Trump announced it at 3:57 AM from France, markets soared, and oil fell 4%. The Strait of Hormuz reopens June 19 under a 60-day MOU. Israel is not on board. Iran and the U.S. describe two very different versions of the same agreement. The next 60 days will tell the real story.
The G7 summit in Evian opens June 15 with Iran, AI, and Ukraine on the table. Trump wants credit for a possible Iran deal. Europe wants AI regulation. The U.S. invested $285,900 million in private AI in 2025, while the entire EU attracted just $8,000 million. Five countries, five agendas, one very tense summit.
Oil prices Iran deal headlines moved markets again on Friday. Brent fell 3.37% to $87.33, WTI fell 3.23% to $84.88, down more than 6% for the week and nearly 20% for the month. Pakistan says a final peace deal text exists. Trump disputes Iranian reports on the terms. Markets are betting on a negotiated outcome.
The Israel Hezbollah ceasefire is at breaking point. Israel struck Beirut on June 1 as Hezbollah kept firing rockets into northern Israel. Iran suspended all ceasefire talks with Washington the same day. Over 2,000 killed in Lebanon. 1,000,000 displaced. The fragile truce brokered by Trump is now hanging by a thread.
U.S. and Iranian negotiators reached a 60-day Iran MOU deal framework — but Trump has not signed yet. He says he is "not satisfied." Good. Iran wants sanctions lifted before doing anything. Trump demands relief for performance only. The Strait of Hormuz, nuclear enrichment, and regional proxies all hang in the balance.
Iranian leadership fails to offer any reasonable proposal under mounting Iran Hormuz Pressure. President Trump warns time is running out as Tehran reviews the latest U.S. ceasefire offer. Iran offers zero concessions on its nuclear program or Strait of Hormuz control, raising concerns for regional stability and global energy security.
One week before Trump meets Xi Jinping in Beijing, Iran's FM flew to China for the first time since the war began. Chinese FM Wang Yi told Tehran to reopen Hormuz and stand down. Rubio demanded it publicly. China delivered. Reopen Hormuz — this is peace through strength at the highest level.
President Trump dispatches trusted envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Islamabad for a second round of high-stakes Iran talks, while Vice President JD Vance stays home. The measured approach signals strategic patience as America First diplomacy tests whether Tehran is genuinely serious about de-escalation now.
