President Donald Trump on Thursday forcefully defended the interim U.S.-Iran peace agreement, dismissing critics who argue Washington gave away too much in negotiations with Tehran. Trump said the deal has already helped boost financial markets and ease oil prices, according to reports from the G7 summit in France.
The 14-point memorandum of understanding, signed electronically by both governments, extends the ceasefire, reopens the Strait of Hormuz, launches 60 days of negotiations toward a final agreement, and outlines plans for sanctions relief and a proposed $300 billion reconstruction initiative for Iran.
However, the agreement has triggered debate among analysts and lawmakers. According to CNBC, several observers believe the framework appears favorable to Iran, particularly on issues such as uranium enrichment, access to frozen assets, and ballistic missile development.
Trump maintained that preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon remains a central objective. He also warned that the United States would respond militarily if Tehran fails to honor its commitments.
The report said analysts remain divided on the long-term implications, with some arguing the agreement strengthens Iran’s negotiating position while others view it as a significant diplomatic breakthrough that could reduce regional tensions and stabilize global energy markets.
