Trump formally signs U.S.-Iran deal as questions linger about nuclear program

During a press conference at the G7 summit in France, President Trump addressed various topics, including Iran’s ballistic missiles and the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding. He clarified that while he doesn’t mind Iran having ballistic missiles if other countries possess them, he distinguishes them from nuclear weapons. Trump also mentioned that the 60-day timeline for a nuclear deal with Iran is flexible, emphasizing that as long as Iran behaves, the timeline isn’t crucial. The memorandum includes key points like ending military operations and allowing Iran to export oil. Trump discussed the assassination of Qasem Soleimani and expressed frustration with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s handling of conflicts in Lebanon. The memorandum has been shared with Israel, but its terms remain unconfirmed publicly. The ongoing Israeli military presence in Lebanon could potentially violate the agreement, according to Iranian officials. QUESTION: How might the flexibility in the U.S.-Iran nuclear deal timeline impact international relations and future negotiations?
