CAIRO (AP) — The interim deal reached by the United States and Iran to end their war will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bring the two adversaries back to the negotiating table over Tehran’s nuclear program, according to details released by both countries.
It will also give Iran an immediate benefit, allowing it to sell its crude on the world market and restoring a revenue stream worth billions.
Besides the new oil revenue for Iran, the two sides are more or less back where they were 3½ months ago — before Israel and the U.S. launched their war, which has left thousands dead across the region, triggered a global energy crisis and shaken the American economy.
Iran and the U.S. will enter a 60-day period of negotiations, and hanging over them will be the question of whether U.S.
President Donald Trump can wrest a better deal than the 2015 nuclear accord he scuttled eight years ago.
He criticized the deal for giving Iran a huge windfall.
But the interim deal outlines even more lucrative incentives if Iran reaches a new nuclear agreement.
Here’s what to know based on details released by U.S. officials and Iranian state media:
The interim deal would get the oil flowing again
Trump signed a physical copy of the deal Wednesday while dining with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles.
In Tehran, President Masoud Pezeshkian signed the document, according to the state-run IRNA news agency, which posted an image of him holding up the deal with his signature and Trump’s.
Under the agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will reopen, and the U.S. will lift its blockade of Iranian ports — both of which should push gas prices down.
Passage through the waterway will be toll-free for 60 days, and the deal doesn’t preclude fees after that, according to U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to read details of the draft, which has not yet been officially released by Washington.
Iran got promises for the future
The deal calls for Iran’s highly enriched uranium to be “downblended” — or diluted — under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The two sides will work out the details during their negotiations as well as generally discuss Iran’s enrichment program, which it says it has a right to continue.
Iran developed the material in response to Trump’s scuttling of Tehran’s 2015 nuclear accord with world powers that prevented it from enriching uranium to high levels.
During that period, Iran could only enrich uranium to a low level, far below what’s needed for a weapon.
It could only stockpile 300 kilograms (660 pounds) of the material and had to sharply reduce its centrifuges carrying out enrichment.
It was also put under stricter inspections by the IAEA.
A key criticism was the 15-year time limit, after which opponents said Iran would be able to quickly ramp up its ability to produce a bomb.
Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
A key question now will be whether the U.S. can win stricter limits for a longer term.
War in Lebanon could threaten the deal
The deal calls for an end to the war in Lebanon, where Israel has been fighting Hezbollah.
However, Israel and Hezbollah aren’t parties to the agreement.
Iran insists Israel must withdraw from the large swath of southern Lebanon it is occupying, but the interim deal doesn’t explicitly require that and only ensures Lebanon’s “territorial integrity.”
Israel has vowed to keep troops in Lebanon, while Hezbollah says it is committed to resisting Israel “until full withdrawal is achieved.”
Fighting between the two could derail the deal unless the U.S. and Iran can rein in their respective allies.
US-Israeli ties have been strained
Israel was squeezed out of the negotiations with Iran, and Israelis from across the political spectrum have called the deal a disaster, directing their fury at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Tensions between Trump and Netanyahu, meanwhile, have occasionally spilled into the open, including when the American president described the Israeli leader as “crazy.”
At the G7 summit in France this week, Trump said that Netanyahu “has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon.”
Netanyahu is left in a precarious situation ahead of national elections later this year.
His relationship with Trump may require downscaling a military campaign in Lebanon that is broadly popular in Israel.
