The US-Iran memorandum, signed Monday, establishes a 60-day framework, not a peace deal, with a significant flaw: Israel's national security minister declared the nation is not bound by it, posing a risk that Israel or Hezbollah could restart the war. Pakistan mediated this agreement, which includes an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations, functioning as a ceasefire.
This framework has reopened the Strait of Hormuz, substantially mitigating an anticipated oil price shock and supply crisis projected for mid-July. The second phase of negotiations, lasting approximately 60 days, will address Iran's nuclear program, uranium enrichment, collection of nuclear debris from targeted sites, and future sanctions relief. President Donald Trump announced the Strait's opening on June 14, authorizing the removal of the US Naval blockade, though global shippers remain cautious and questions persist about potential Iranian tolls.
