Peace Deal Sent to Congress: What It Means for U. S. and Iran

The White House has forwarded a document to lawmakers outlining an interim agreement between the United States and Iran. The paper was sent after President Trump signed a temporary deal with Tehran, ending hostilities for the time being.

Title: Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America
Key Provisions:

• Military actions on all fronts, including in Lebanon, will cease immediately and permanently.
• Washington will lift its naval blockade on Iranian ports within one month.
• In return, Iran will allow commercial ships to pass safely through the Strait of Hormuz for two months without additional fees.
• Both sides pledge to work toward a final, long‑term agreement within sixty days, with the option to extend that period if necessary.

The document carries signatures from representatives of Iran and the United States, with Pakistan acting as a witness and mediator.

This step signals that both countries are prepared to move forward—at least temporarily—as they negotiate the details of a more permanent settlement.
