Trump says Iran deal near signing with 60-day sanctions relief

The article reports that the U.S. and Iran are close to signing a memorandum of understanding that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz without tolls, grant temporary sanctions relief for 60 days in exchange for Iran’s compliance with a nuclear framework, and extend a regional ceasefire while longer talks continue; a second, more detailed agreement would spell out longer-term steps. Tehran’s leadership has not fully signed off, with mediation by Qatar and Pakistan aiming for a signing in Geneva, and questions remain about how frozen funds will be released and humanitarian access. Four U.S. C-17s were moved to Europe in preparation for a possible signing event.
