Yes because this administration hasn't lied before. Like at all.

- Nothing has been decided about Iran's Highly Enriched Uranium and that has been kicked to the next 60 days.

- $300 billion will go to Iran for reconstruction, but it's unclear on where those funds are coming from.

- All sanctions will be lifted from Iran.

- Iran can now sell all of its oil and use those funds on whatever it wants - which I'm sure will be to rebuild its military.

- Iran will have the ability to access $100+ billion in frozen assets.

- Iran’s ballistic missile program and the funding of its regional militias isn't even mentioned.

I am honoured to announce that the historic ‘Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding’ has been electronically signed today between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Memorandum has been signed by honourable Presidents of both the countries and also endorsed by me as the mediator. The signing of this agreement at the highest level of the respective governments demonstrates the commitment of both sides to a diplomatic resolution of the conflict. Islamabad MoU shall enter into force with immediate effect and as a first step, Islamic Republic of Iran will instantly reopen the Strait of Hormuz and the United States of America will immediately lift the naval blockade.

I offer my heartfelt congratulations and sincere appreciation to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump whose steadfast commitment to diplomacy and preference for peaceful resolution have once again helped end a conflict that could have led to devastating consequences for the region and beyond. I also commend the dedication and tireless efforts of the United States negotiating team, including J.D. Vance, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, for their invaluable contributions to this achievement.

I express my profound respect and appreciation to His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Islamic Republic of Iran and President Masoud Pezeshkian for their wisdom, foresight and statesmanship in embracing the cause of peace. I also wish to recognize the efforts of the Iranian negotiating team, including Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Araghchi and Eskandar Momeni, whose patience, perseverance and commitment to constructive engagement were instrumental in bringing this agreement to fruition.

I would especially like to acknowledge the sincere efforts and constructive engagement of the leadership of the State of Qatar in helping reach this point. I also highly commend the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Türkiye and the Arab Republic of Egypt for their indispensable role and invaluable contributions in this regard.

I would also like to make special mention of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, whose tireless efforts, selfless dedication and instrumental role were critical in facilitating this breakthrough and advancing the cause of peace and regional stability.

May this Memorandum of Understanding serve as an enduring foundation for greater understanding, mutual respect and shared prosperity for the complete region.

Sen. Eric Schmitt says President Trump achieved what many thought was impossible, crippling Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities while creating an opening for diplomacy:

“President Trump was very clear from the beginning about the mission here, which was to ensure that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon. They no longer have the ability to do that, and now they’re signing on the dotted line, for the first time, that they won’t pursue it. And we don’t need to trust them—we just need to verify it. The president effectively knocked out their military capability. Their navy is at the bottom of the sea. They have no air defense. Their nuclear program is in shambles and nowhere near being restarted. And if necessary, we can always go back and mow the lawn because we’ve got eyes on it. What the president has done is create space for diplomacy, which has always been his North Star. There’s still more work to do, and we need to verify all of this, but he has accomplished something that most experts six months ago would have said was impossible. I think it’s a good outcome for the American people.”
