Trump and Iran's President Digitally Sign Memorandum of Understanding with Terms to End War
(NBC News) Henry Austin - President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian both digitally signed a memorandum of understanding on Wednesday laying out terms for ending the war, according to U.S. officials. The U.S. is expected to lift sanctions on Iran and unfreeze funds and assets linked to the country's regime under the 14-point MoU. Trump said the deal would see frozen Iranian funds released "only if they're doing things right." The agreement calls for an immediate end to all fighting, including in Lebanon. "The Lebanon peace is something we'll have to work on a little bit," Trump said. Israel is not a direct party to the U.S.-Iran agreement. U.S. officials said, "The Israelis...remain skeptical, as we remain skeptical, and obviously they're preparing for what will happen in the event that Iran does not make the concessions in the final deal." "We were very clear with Iran that this will not be a one-sided ceasefire. You know, they have to get a collar on their dog in Hizbullah, and they've got to hold them back. And if Hizbullah attacked Israel, Israel's going to have the full ability to go and attack back."
