The memorandum includes provisions for “ending the war, lifting the siege, reopening Hormuz, and the withdrawal of American forces from the war zone.”

The official said the agreement does not address nuclear issues because they are “complex and require sufficient time for negotiation" but noted that a path towards nuclear talks could open 30 days after the agreement takes effect.

It had originally been planned for Asim Munir to announce the memorandum in Tehran, but he left to coordinate with Washington.

The official added that Qatar played a major role in drafting the MoU and facilitating communications between mediators and the U.S., while stressing that Iran “cannot make more concessions than those stipulated in the memorandum of understanding.”

There may be news later today. I don't have news for you at this very moment, but there might be some news a little later today. There may not be; I hope there will be, but I'm not sure yet.

There's been some progress made. Even as I speak to you now, there's some work being done. There is a chance that whether it's later today, tomorrow, or in a couple days, we may have something to say.

President Trump's preference is always to solve problems such as these through a negotiated diplomatic solution. That's what we're working on right now.

Perhaps there will be something to talk about on that topic while I'm here on this visit at some point.

Trump described the situation as a “solid 50/50” between reaching what he called a “good” agreement or escalating military action, saying, “Either I hit them harder than they have ever been hit, or we are going to sign a deal that is good.”

He added that opinions within his circle differ between pursuing diplomacy and restarting the conflict, but dismissed suggestions that Benjamin Netanyahu was concerned he might agree to a weak deal.

Trump said there is already “a draft” agreement that he has reviewed, though he declined to say whether he had approved it. “I will only sign a deal where we get everything we want,” he said.

He added that any final agreement would have to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and ensure that Iran’s enriched uranium is “satisfactorily handled.”

Trump also warned that if negotiations fail, Iran could face unprecedented military consequences, saying, “No country will ever be hit as hard as they’re about to be hit.”

The president said Ukrainian authorities are verifying the information but warned there are visible signs of preparations for a large combined attack on Ukrainian territory, particularly Kyiv, using multiple types of weapons.

He urged civilians to respond seriously to air raid alerts and use shelters, calling the situation an example of “Russian madness.”

Zelensky also appealed to Western partners to increase pressure on Moscow before any escalation occurs, warning that allowing Russia to wage war on such a scale could encourage other hostile states to act similarly in the future.

I wouldn't make a deal if it wasn't good for Israel.

The first concerns Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran insists it will not discuss nuclear matters during the current round of negotiations and says such talks could only happen later if confidence-building measures are implemented first.

The second issue involves Iran’s frozen assets. The source said Tehran demands the transfer and release of blocked Iranian funds before entering any formal negotiations.

The third disagreement centers on the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. wants maritime traffic to fully return to previous conditions, while Iran seeks to maintain control over shipping routes and regulate the number of vessels permitted to pass through the strait under its own framework.

President Trump's obsession with heaven is beneficial for America.
