Midnight Accord: The U.S.-Iran Deal Sealed
TL;DR Summary
A frantic, last-minute push mediated by Qatar produced a memorandum between the United States and Iran that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, include a $300 billion reconstruction package for Iran, and defer the most controversial issue— Iran’s nuclear program— to future negotiations. The accord was reached amid regional jockeying and domestic politics in the U.S., timed around Trump’s birthday and a White House UFC event, with Tehran signaling cautious support while Israel warned of unresolved nuclear questions; the White House said the blockade would end within 30 days as part of the package.
