The deal between the US and Iran<\/a> aims to halt the war and energy disruptions that have rattled the global economy, but observers warn the agreement is built on ground too shaky<\/a> to guarantee a lasting peace.US President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian electronically signed a long-anticipated memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Wednesday to end the US-Israel war on Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump signed it at a dinner at the Palace of Versailles, where he was joined by French President Emmanuel Macron and French first lady Brigitte Macron.<\/p>\n

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, a key mediator, posted on social media that the \u201cIslamabad MOU\u201d would enter into force with immediate effect and, as a first step, Iran would instantly reopen the Strait of Hormuz while the US would \u201cimmediately lift the naval blockade\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to an outline of the agreement<\/a> released by the US on Wednesday, the deal covers some of the issues most critical to Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The deal between the US and Iran aims to halt the war and energy disruptions that have rattled…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166205,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[28],"tags":[383,847,51918,51917,38,2215,42456,100,102,34,37,93,3620,49,101,1717],"class_list":["post-166204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-strait-of-hormuz","tag-beijing","tag-beirut","tag-buergenstock","tag-china-arab-research-institute","tag-donald-trump","tag-fudan-university","tag-group-of-seven","tag-hezbollah","tag-hormuz","tag-iran","tag-israel","tag-lebanon","tag-masoud-pezeshkian","tag-middle-east","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-switzerland"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116771032048320541","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166204\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
