Iran war update: May 29
- A memorandum of understanding has been negotiated between Iran and the U.S., the White House confirmed yesterday. The memorandum would reportedly extend the ceasefire by two months, open the Strait of Hormuz, give Iran extended sanctions relief, conclude fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, and formally start negotiations over its nuclear program and a peace treaty. It still needs the approval of President Donald Trump and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
- Israel struck Beirut in Lebanon yesterday for the first time in almost a month. Israel Defense Forces may be trying to maximize damage to the terrorist group Hezbollah before being pressured to stop by the United States due to its negotiations with Iran.
