Amid growing political pressure ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, Donald Trump approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran, marking a significant step toward ending the conflict. While this deal includes key elements like reopening the Strait of Hormuz and extending the ceasefire for 60 days, analysts suggest it involves major US concessions, notably deferring discussions on ending Iran's nuclear program. Critics argue that Trump’s exit plan may leave the U.S. strategically weakened while failing to meet his initial war objectives.
