Hours after Iranian media claimed
its navy fired missiles at a U.S. destroyer in the Gulf of Oman—which U.S.
Central Command called false—Trump announced a memorandum of understanding with
Iran is close.
The one-page framework would extend the ceasefire for 60 days,
lift the U.S. blockade, unfreeze Iranian assets, and require disposal of
Tehran's enriched uranium under oversight, while U.S. forces clear mines from
the strait that carries 20% of global oil.
Trump tied the deal to lower energy costs but hurdles remain over nuclear timelines, sanctions relief, and enforcement amid fragile talks.
