Former US President Donald Trump asserted that the United States is now “stronger, safer, and more respected than ever before” following a memorandum of understanding signed with Iran. The agreement, digitally signed by both Trump and the Iranian president, aims to pave the way for a comprehensive peace deal between the two nations. A key component of the memorandum is the temporary, free opening of the Strait of Hormuz for the export of oil and gas from Persian Gulf countries. Trump stated the deal will prevent Iran from ever possessing nuclear weapons and will allow oil to flow freely again. The announcement was made via Trump’s social media account on Thursday, following the signing on Wednesday. This development marks a significant shift in US-Iran relations after years of tension.
