The 60-day peace window opened by the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding expired today, with both sides still far from a permanent peace agreement. NewsNation's Cory Smith has the latest developments.
The memorandum, which was signed digitally over the weekend but is expected to be signed formally on Friday, said both sides have committed to “negotiating and achieving the final deal in a maximum 60 days, extended with mutual consent.”
Trump, "It's not final. It's a memorandum of understanding. If I don't like it. We'll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head. If I don't like it, if they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head." #donaldtrump #iran #iranwar
A copy of the 14-point draft of the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran has been circulating, which contains agreements to end hostilities, lift sanctions, provide financial support to Iran and open up the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media and Trump are disputing the accuracy of the leaked document.
A “memorandum of understanding” between the two sides is under discussion. Both sides are keen to frame it as a victory.
