A memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran has been signed, bringing an end to the recent conflict initiated by a joint US-Israeli military operation against Iran on February 28th. The agreement follows fighting between the involved parties. US President Donald Trump has responded strongly to the domestic criticism surrounding the deal, defending his actions. Details of the agreement remain limited, but it appears to represent a cessation of hostilities. Trump alluded to a larger narrative surrounding the deal via his social media platform, Truth Social, on Friday. The specifics of this “larger narrative” have not been fully disclosed. The agreement’s terms and potential long-term implications are currently under scrutiny.
