On Wednesday, CNN <\/em>obtained and published the details of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran, meant to halt the war between the countries for at least the next 60 days.<\/p>\n

The 14-point MOU calls for an \u201cimmediate and permanent end to the war on all fronts\u201d \u2014 including in Lebanon. The document also alludes to reaching a \u201cfinal agreement\u201d within the next two months, indicating that the MOU likely functions as more of a temporary ceasefire agreement than a lasting peace deal.<\/p>\n

The MOU indicates that the 60-day deadline isn\u2019t final and can be extended \u201cby mutual consent\u201d if needed. <\/p>\n

In addition to an end to hostilities, the MOU also demands that both Iran and the U.S. \u201crespect each other\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and \u2026 refrain from interfering in each other\u2019s internal affairs.\u201d It lifts naval blockades imposed by both sides in the Strait of Hormuz, with the promise to restore exports through the waterway (including oil) to \u201cpre-war volume\u201d within 30 days. <\/p>\n

The memo also requires sanctions on Iran to be lifted, and for the United States to create, with its regional partners, \u201ca comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion.\u201d More details on how that fund will operate are to be discussed during the upcoming 60-day negotiating period.<\/p>\n

Such agreements are not uncommon at the end of military conflicts. Indeed, after World War II, the United States created agreements to help restore the infrastructure of both Japan and parts of Germany. The U.S. and Israel\u2019s war has caused an estimated billions of dollars worth of destruction to Iran\u2019s civilian infrastructure, including transportation, internet and communications, and energy and oil production sites.<\/p>\n

But even as members of his own administration appeared to confirm rumors of that provision earlier this week, Trump has denied that the U.S. would create such a fund, calling the idea \u201cFake News\u201d in a Truth Social post. Trump also dismissed the idea of a $300 billion fund being partially created by the U.S. at a G7 meeting in France on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not investing, we\u2019re not putting up 10 cents,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

The refusal to abide by any portion of the MOU could threaten the temporary ceasefire.<\/p>\n

Trump also indicated that the MOU wasn\u2019t yet final, and that he could \u201cgo back to shooting\u201d if he doesn\u2019t like what\u2019s in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I don\u2019t like it, \u2060if they don\u2019t behave, we\u2019ll go right back to dropping bombs right \u200csmack in the middle of their head,\u201d Trump said at the G7 meeting.<\/p>\n

Per the MOU, Iran is required to reiterate \u201cthat it will never produce nuclear weapons.\u201d The agreement also requires continued discussions on its possession of \u201cenriched material.\u201d <\/p>\n

Yet Iran had already made that kind of promise before the war started, during negotiations in February. The Trump administration largely ignored these promises, continuing to insist that Iran was pursuing such ambitions in public statements.<\/p>\n

As rumors swirled earlier this week about what was contained in the deal between the U.S. and Iran, several commentators blasted the president for launching the unauthorized war in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States is left weaker\u201d for Trump having started this war, The Atlantic\u2019s<\/em> Jonathan Lemire wrote in a Wednesday morning column, adding that the U.S. is \u201cdiminished militarily, strategically, economically, and perhaps morally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump failed to accomplish any of his listed goals, including substantial regime change or ending Iran\u2019s nuclear capacities, MS NOW\u2019s <\/em>Rachel Maddow said in commentary on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump started a war with Iran, and he then lost the war,\u201d Maddow opined.<\/p>\n

Americans overall are deeply critical of Trump\u2019s handling of the war. In , just 29 percent of Americans said he\u2019s handled the war effectively, while 62 percent said they disapprove of how he\u2019s managed the conflict.<\/p>\n

Since the U.S. and Israel launched their unprovoked war on Iran, at least 3,468 people have been killed in Iran, with more than 26,500 people injured. Thirteen U.S. soldiers have died in the war, with another 381 service members injured.<\/p>\n

In an op-ed for Truthout <\/em>in May, peace activist Christine Ahn condemned Trump\u2019s war on Iran as yet another example of the devastation wrought by the U.S.\u2019s imperialist aggression, citing past interventions in Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan, and Iraq.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States faces a genuine choice. It can continue to reach for airpower each time it confronts a government it dislikes, perpetuating a cycle in which bombs kill civilians, harden regimes, destroy internal movements, and leave behind unexploded ordnance for generations of children to find,\u201d she wrote. \u201cOr it can reckon honestly with what 75 years of this doctrine have produced, and begin building a foreign policy grounded not in the fantasy of force, but in the reality of what peace actually requires.\u201d<\/p>\n
