Well supportedReported by 17 independent outlets

During the G7 conference in France, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The deal calls for Iran to use its best efforts to open the Strait to commercial shipping and not charge fees for 60 days. Under the agreement, U.S. sanctions against Iran will be lifted, and the U.S. will work with regional partners to secure $300 billion in reconstruction funds for Iran.
