memorandum of understanding with Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\nThere are three key things that stood out from it for me:<\/p>\n
On the nuclear question, the senior officials say Iran has
\npromised not to develop or procure a nuclear weapon. Donald Trump has made that
\nhis number one condition for a deal ever since the start of the war in
\nFebruary. They also said that Iran’s enriched uranium will be
\n“down-blended” \u2013 meaning diluted \u2013 on site, under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Originally, the US had demanded that it was
\nremoved from the country, so that\u2019s new. <\/p>\n
On the question of the reopening of the Strait of
\nHormuz, the senior officials said that there would be no charges for ships
\ngoing through for 60 days. After that, it’s up to Iran and its neighbours to
\nnegotiate what happens. That leaves open the possibility of charges in the
\nfuture, where there were no charges before the conflict.<\/p>\n
Then there’s the controversial $300bn reconstruction fund.
\nPresident Trump had described that as “fake news”, but it is in the
\ndocument. The senior officials insisted America doesn’t need to pay “a
\ncent” towards that \u2013and it will depend on Iran \u201cbehaving”, as they
\nput it. <\/p>\n
This agreement will be scrutinised line by line over the coming
\ndays. And the big question will be, what exactly did the US get out of its war
\nwith Iran?<\/p>\n
