Pakistan releases terms of US-Iran deal; appears to show US capitulation

Iranian officials said Tehran canceled a planned attack on Israel following the breakthrough.

Pakistan has published what it says are the terms of the Iran-US memorandum of understanding, including the lifting of sanctions on Iran, the release of some frozen Iranian assets, an end to the US blockade, and a complete ceasefire across all fronts, including an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon.

According to the reported terms, Iran would retain its uranium stockpile and nuclear facilities, oversee shipping through the Strait of Hormuz while collecting transit fees, and receive a $300 billion compensation fund.

Meanwhile, senior Iranian officials told the New York Times that Tehran canceled a planned attack on Israel following the breakthrough.

President Trump declared late Sunday that a U.S.-Iran agreement is complete, signaling a dramatic breakthrough after months of negotiations and weeks of military confrontation.

“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!”

The breakthrough follows weeks of escalating tensions that saw Iran shoot down a U.S. Apache helicopter, triggering American retaliatory strikes against Iranian targets. Tehran later launched ballistic missiles and drones at U.S. assets in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, while Washington imposed a naval blockade that sharply restricted Iranian oil exports and maritime traffic.

Trump spent much of Sunday defending the emerging agreement and pushing back against critics who compared it to the Obama-era nuclear deal.

In one Truth Social post, Trump insisted the agreement would permanently prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

“Iran will never have a Nuclear Weapon, and the Strait of Hormuz will be opening up for business very shortly,” he wrote.

In another, he criticized Democratic Sen. Jack Reed for comparing the agreement to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

“Our Deal is a WALL against Iran ever having a Nuclear Weapon, the complete opposite of Obama,” Trump wrote, arguing that the new framework bears little resemblance to the agreement negotiated by the Obama administration.

However, the terms reported by Pakistan suggest that the United States effectively capitulated to Iranian demands.
