14 Key Conditions of the US-Iran Deal: From Releasing Iranian Funds and Lifting Oil Bans to Reopening the Strait of Hormuz

New Delhi. US President Donald Trump has announced that a significant agreement between the US and Iran will be signed on Sunday. He claimed that this deal would pave the way for the immediate reopening of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz and bring about a fundamental shift in diplomatic relations between the two long-standing adversaries.

In a statement released via social media, Donald Trump drew a sharp contrast between this upcoming agreement and the previous deal struck during former President Barack Obama’s tenure.

Trump emphasized that, unlike the framework established under his predecessor, the agreement resulting from these new negotiations would strictly ensure that Iran remains completely barred from developing nuclear weapons. Iran’s Mehr News Agency has claimed that the agreement between the two nations is based on specific conditions.
