CIA Director John Ratcliffe has warned President Donald Trump and senior officials that U.S. intelligence raises serious questions about whether Iran intends to follow through on key nuclear commitments, according to sources cited by Axios.

The report said Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth expressed skepticism during internal discussions. They reportedly pointed to intelligence suggesting Iranian officials were describing the agreement differently in private than in talks with U.S. negotiators and mediators.

Supporters of the memorandum of understanding, including Vice President JD Vance and envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, argued the framework protects core U.S. interests.

A White House official said the agreement prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and addresses concerns over enriched uranium and energy security.

According to the report, the deal extends the ceasefire and launches 60 days of negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.

Critics fear Tehran could gain economic and diplomatic benefits without making meaningful concessions, while administration officials insist any relief will depend on Iran’s actions and compliance.
