US President Donald Trump has defended the 14-point Memorandum of Understanding signed with Iran, describing it as a temporary framework to end the war. Speaking amid the G7 Summit, Trump emphasized that the agreement is designed to halt hostilities, reopen trade routes, and establish monitoring mechanisms while paving the way for a permanent peace deal.
He acknowledged that the MoU is not a final settlement but a crucial step toward stability, noting that global leaders at the G7 have backed the framework as a pragmatic solution to de-escalate tensions. Trump argued that the temporary arrangement demonstrates America’s commitment to diplomacy while safeguarding strategic interests.
The 14 points reportedly cover nuclear non-proliferation, maritime security, humanitarian access, and regional cooperation. Analysts view the framework as a bridge between ceasefire and comprehensive peace, though its durability will depend on continued negotiations and compliance by all parties.
