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.
