Iran has 60 days to prove it is willing to make peace and change its ways after signing the deal with the US<\/a> on Friday \u2014 and both sides have to hammer out the biggest problems at stake, including whether the Strait of Hormuz remains free for ship traffic, the $300 billion fund to rebuilt Iran and what it will take to permanently list sanctions on the Islamic regime.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 14-point US-Iran memorandum of understanding<\/a> \u2014 which was finally released in full Wedensday \u2014 lays the groundwork for two months of negotiations between Washington and Tehran on the de-proliferation efforts.<\/p>\n

President Trump warned the Islamic republic to abide by the agreement or face a resumption of war and destruction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re gonna bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement,\u201d Trump told reporters on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The MOU states that in return for the removal of all sanctions, Iran will commit not to develop a nuclear weapon and agree to discussions on how to dilute its nearly 1,000 pounds of enriched uranium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The agreement suggests that Iran would work on a deal that would see it degrade its atomic stockpile under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which was kicked out of the country at the start of the war.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has said that economic relief won\u2019t come until it\u2019s assured Iran is keeping its promises, the president dodged repeated questions about the up-front sanctions being lifted upon Friday\u2019s signing.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Getting Iran to commit to de-proliferation stands as \u201cone of the hardest, lowest probability things you can do,\u201d a senior US official told The Post.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best way to really do it is to get a real comprehensive deal that is conditions based, has teeth, and to drive it to a different paradigm,\u201d the official said of the work to come.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the MOU states that the negotiations should be completed within 60 days, Trump said he doesn\u2019t have a hard deadline for the talks if progress is being made.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t view it as hard, no,\u201d Trump told reporters of the deadline. \u201cJust as long as they\u2019re behaving, I really don\u2019t care that much.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Post\u2019s cover on the Trump administration\u2019s Iran deal.<\/p>\n

If progress isn\u2019t being made, the US may return to reimposing sanctions and the blockade on Iranian ports, the senior US official said, adding that\u00a0 \u201call the options will continue to be on the table.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The US apparently made several concessions with Iran in the final days of the peace deal negotiation \u2014 including the fate of the Strait of Hormuz, Lebanon and Tehran\u2019s enriched uranium.<\/p>\n

A senior Middle East diplomatic source told The Post the earlier draft was from about three weeks ago, while an Iranian source said there was \u201ca great deal of back and forth\u201d on the document after Israel launched strikes on Beirut and in Iran over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Among the biggest changes was that Iran will not transfer to another country or destroy its enriched uranium, but rather will work with the IAEA, the United Nations\u2019 nuclear watchdog, to degrade it on Iranian soil.<\/p>\n

\tThe Iran deal text reads as follows:<\/p>\n

The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran and their allies in the current war, by signing this MOU, declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and undertake from now on not to initiate any war or any military operation against each other, and to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other, and ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. The final deal will confirm the permanent termination of the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and other provisions of this paragraph.<\/p>\n

The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran undertake to respect each other\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity and to refrain from interfering in each other\u2019s internal affairs.<\/p>\n

The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran commit to negotiating and achieving the final deal in maximum 60 days\u00a0extendable\u00a0with mutual consent.<\/p>\n

Immediately upon the signing of this MOU, the United States of America will begin the removal of its naval blockade and any disturbances or impediments against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and will fully end the naval blockade within 30 days. During this period, the traffic of vessels will be in proportion to the numbers of pre-war traffic being restored by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The United States of America further undertakes to remove its forces from the proximity of the Islamic Republic of Iran within 30 days after the final deal.<\/p>\n

Upon the signing of this MOU, Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman, and vice versa. The traffic of commercial vessels will immediately start, and considering the need for removing the technical and military obstacles and demining by the Islamic Republic of Iran will be instated within 30 days. The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialog with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz in discussion with other Persian Gulf or\u00a0littoral\u00a0states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

United States of America undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least USD $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The mechanism for the implementation of this plan will be finalized as part of a final deal within 60 days. All required licenses, waivers, and permissions needed for the relevant financial transactions will be granted by the United States of America.<\/p>\n

The United States of America undertakes to terminate all types of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the United Nations Security Council resolutions, i.e. a Board of Governors resolutions, and all unilateral US sanctions, primary and secondary, in an agreed-upon schedule as part of the final deal. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America acknowledge the critical importance of the sanctions termination issue above mentioned,\u00a0and expressed their intentions to immediately address these issues in the negotiations in order to achieve mutual agreement on them.<\/p>\n

The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms that it shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons. United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran have agreed to resolve the disposition of stockpile enriched material pursuant to a mechanism that will be mutually agreed upon in accordance with the schedule mentioned in paragraph seven, with the minimum methodology to be down blending on site under the supervision of the IAEA. The two parties also agreed to discuss the issue of enrichment and other mutually agreed matters related to the Islamic Republic of Iran\u2019s nuclear needs, based on a satisfactory framework being agreed upon in the final deal. The final deal will confirm the provisions of this paragraph. The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran acknowledge the critical importance of the nuclear issues above mentioned and express their intention to immediately address these issues in the negotiations in order to achieve mutual agreement on them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pending the final deal, the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran agree to maintain the status quo. The Islamic Republic of Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program and the United States of America will not impose any new sanctions and will not deploy additional forces in the region.<\/p>\n

The United States of America undertakes that immediately upon the signing of MOU until the termination of sanctions, US Department of Treasury will issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, and derivatives, and all associated services, including banking transactions, insurances, transportation, etc.<\/p>\n

The United States of America undertakes to make fully available for use the frozen or restricted funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Upon the implementation of this MOU, the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran will mutually agree on the procedures related to the release of these funds during the negotiations. Such funds, whether retained in the original account or transferred, shall be made fully usable for payment to any ultimate beneficiary designed by the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The United States of America undertakes to issue all necessary licenses and authorizations accordingly.<\/p>\n

The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran agree that an executive mechanism will be established to monitor the successful implementation of this MOU and the future compliance of the final deal.<\/p>\n

After signing this MOU, and subject to the beginning of the implementation of paragraphs 1, 4, 5, 10, and 11 of the MOU, and the continuing implementation of these measures, the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran will start negotiations regarding the final deal exclusively on the other paragraphs.<\/p>\n

The final deal will be endorsed by a binding UNSC resolution.<\/p>\n

Another change was made to the earlier sentence, \u201cThe Islamic Republic of Iran reiterates that it will never produce nuclear weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new text adds that Iran cannot buy or accept nuclear weapons to get around its pledge never to develop them.<\/p>\n

President Trump in recent weeks has touted this as a personal demand of his.<\/p>\n

Another big change involves the\u00a0Strait of Hormuz<\/a>, with the US previously demanding Iran free up the waterway immediately to resume pre-war volume.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The updated version now only calls on Iran to \u201cuse its best efforts\u201d to allow for safe passage through Hormuz, with free crossings to take place for only the first 60 days of the cease-fire\u00a0\u2014 even though the US will lift its blockade of Iranian ports immediately.<\/p>\n

After that, Iran will work with Oman to \u201cdefine the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz.\u201d There remains, however, conflicting positions on whether that would constitute a toll system, with Iran already establishing a body to carry out the service and the US confident such fees cannot be enforced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

President Trump noted that \u201ccommon sense\u201d would prevent Iran from imposing tolls on the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 saying, \u201cThey don\u2019t want to get bombed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure the Iranians will assert their rights as aggressively as they can, but fundamentally, toll-free passage of the Straits of Hormuz for 60 days, and that will continue because the Persian Gulf states will never agree to an arrangement that doesn\u2019t permit toll-free access to the Strait of Hormuz for themselves and their industries,\u201d a senior US official told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another big change centers on Lebanon, which has repeatedly threatened to sink the deal as\u00a0Israel continues to battle Hezbollah\u00a0<\/a>in the nation\u2019s southern half.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Previously, the deal called on the fighting and all threats to come to an end, but Israel has insisted that its army would not withdraw from southern Lebanon until the threat of Hezbollah attacks is neutralized.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMorning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tThanks for signing up!\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The new text, however, now demands that Lebanon\u2019s territory and sovereignty be\u00a0respected by all parties involved, suggesting Israel would be forced to withdraw.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were discussions suggesting that Israel\u2019s untimely attack was intended to sabotage the process,\u201d a person familiar with mediations told The Post.<\/p>\n

It also pledges the US will immediately lift its blockade and waive Iranian oil sanctions until a final deal is reached.<\/p>\n

Other economic incentives \u2014 including the\u00a0formal, lasting\u00a0removal of sanctions<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 are saved until after a deal is reached.<\/p>\n

However, critics and former officials who have advised the US on national security told The Post they had concerns that the document immediately opens cash flow to Iran by immediately waiving longstanding sanctions and lifting the blockade \u2014 even before Iran reopens the strait for other nations.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more: it doesn\u2019t stop Iran from collecting fees to access the strait after the 60-day negotiating period, said\u00a0Hudson Institute senior fellow Rebecca Heinrichs, who led the Pentagon\u2019s 2024 Strategic Posture Commission that reviewed and made recommendations on US nuclear strategy and posture.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know what a good deal is because the administration repeatedly told us for weeks: The Strait of Hormuz cannot be held hostage or under coercive control of any power. But this deal grants some deal of authority to Iran over the strait,\u201d she said. \u201cThe president clearly believes the Iranians won\u2019t collect tolls, but I just don\u2019t see what anyone will do to stop it once oil is finally moving.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were also told there would not be immediate sanctions relief, but there is,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The long\u00a0awaited-release ends days of speculation and\u00a0spinning on what is included in the plan<\/a>\u00a0and if Iran had been given too generous of a deal.<\/p>\n

Trump has insisted that the 14-point memorandum of understanding signed Sunday doesn\u2019t include all understandings reached privately with Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iran has 60 days to prove it is willing to make peace and change its ways after signing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270125,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[153,14670,72882,9,11,10,62206,87,58,5561,1076],"class_list":["post-270124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-donald-trump","tag-iran","tag-iran-deal","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-operation-epic-fury","tag-politics","tag-us-news","tag-white-house","tag-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
