Victory claims

Trump claimed victory several times,^[8]^[9] incorrectly stating that Iran had "nothing left in a military sense,"^[10] and that the US had brought about regime change, despite the fact that the Islamic Republic remains in power.^[11]

Table

Comparison: Trump's Iran MOU vs. 2015 Iran JCPOA nuclear deal vs. SCO vs. BRICS

Summary comparison table Source^[12]
	2026 MOU	2015 JCPOA
Military	The U.S., Iran, and their allies in the war will permanently end military operations, including in Lebanon. The U.S. will end its naval blockade of Iran, withdraw forces from near Iran after the final deal, and will not deploy additional forces in the region.	No military provisions.
Strait of Hormuz	Iran will reopen the strait with no tolls for 60 days.	Not addressed. The strait remained open under international maritime law; there was no formal provision
Nuclear	Iran will not procure or develop nuclear weapons and will “maintain the status quo” of its nuclear program.	Iran cut enrichment capacity by two-thirds for 10 years and shipped out 96% of its enriched uranium stockpile. Enrichment capped at 3.67% purity. IAEA given broad inspection access. Breakout time extended from ~2–3 months to ~1 year.^[13]
Sanctions and funds	The U.S. and partners will develop a plan with at least $300B for Iran’s reconstruction and development. The U.S. will lift all sanctions on Iran. The U.S. will release frozen Iranian assets.	Only nuclear-related sanctions lifted The U.S. would Iran access estimated $30–50B in liquid frozen assets.

Former US president Barack Obama claimed that the new Iran agreement was unlikely to improve on the JCPOA.^[14] President Trump claimed the Iran deal perhaps is unconditional surrender of Iran.^[15] The new 2026 MOU deal is a 14-point framework that extends the ceasefire in the U.S.-Iran war and sets the stage for talks on a permanent nuclear agreement. Iran commits not to acquire a nuclear weapon (just as it did in the JCPOA), but no enforcement mechanism is yet decided. The MOU calls for an end to military strikes, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping toll-free for 60 days, the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports, and a 60-day extension of the ceasefire.^[16]^[17] The framework deal also does not include the Iranian ballistic missile program or its network of non-state allies in the Middle East.^[18] Responding to widespread criticism from Israel, US vice president JD Vance called for Israeli support and stated "Trump is your only ally left in world".^[19] President Trump said those who oppose Iran deal are either bad people, fools or jealous.^[20]^[21]^[22] One 18 June, Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei released a written statement, declaring that he endorsed the memorandum of understanding despite reservations.^[23] On 19 June, President Trump announced a renewed ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.^[24] On 20 June, Trump announced that there will be no tolls for passage through the Strait of Hormuz during or after the 60-day ceasefire with Iran. However, if peace talks do not succeed, the U.S. may implement a toll for "services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East" for reimbursement of costs incurred in the past, present, and future.^[25] On 21 June, Trump issued a threat to invade Iran if they closed the Strait of Hormuz, following Iran's claim of its closure due to Israeli strikes in Lebanon. He warned that they "won't even make it back to their f***ing country," suggesting a potential threat against Iranian negotiators in Switzerland.^[26]
