That’s the million-dollar question. After Israel’s fresh wave of attacks and Iran’s strikes on its Gulf neighbors, the world wants to know: What did Washington and Tehran agree to? Each side has a different story.
What Iran wants: The country released details of its 10-point proposal yesterday. The fine print: Iran wants to keep full control of the Strait of Hormuz, a US troop withdrawal from the region, an end to sanctions, and to continue its nuclear enrichment program.
What the US says: Many of Tehran’s terms conflict with the US’s own demands. Per Reuters, Trump wants Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium and ballistic missiles gone, the Strait reopened, and an end to its support of regional allies. There’s just one problem…
Which is?: Israel’s continued strikes in Lebanon. Tel Aviv launched a fresh round of attacks yesterday in Beirut that killed nearly 200 people and put the ceasefire at risk. Pakistani officials say the deal also pauses fighting in Lebanon, but Tel Aviv and the US disagree.
