What happened
Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) concerning the future of Iran and the broader Middle East region. The agreement initiates a 60-day ceasefire and sets the stage for longer-term talks regarding a final comprehensive agreement. Critically, the MoU aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy shipping route, which handles approximately 20 million barrels of oil daily.
