US–Iran Relations: United States and Iran sign agreement after 111 days of tensions

The United States and Iran have formally signed a landmark agreement after 111 days of conflict and negotiations, marking the end of active hostilities between the two countries. U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in France while attending the G7 Summit, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed the document in Tehran. With both signatures completed, the agreement has officially come into effect and direct military confrontation between the two nations has ceased. Under the deal, the two sides will continue negotiations for the next 60 days before finalizing a comprehensive agreement. The understanding reportedly includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and further discussions on Iran’s uranium enrichment and nuclear program, with Iran indicating that it will not pursue nuclear weapons. However, questions remain over Israel’s position, as it is not a party to the agreement. Israeli operations against Hezbollah are expected to continue, despite references to Lebanon in the framework of the newly signed accord.
