A senior US official has said Israel is expected to back a regional peace deal with Iran once it reviews the full terms of a proposed memorandum of understanding.
The emerging framework, negotiated between Washington and Tehran over multiple rounds since early 2026, centers on a 60-day MOU designed to extend a ceasefire, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and launch structured dialogue on Iran’s nuclear program and its network of regional proxies.
What’s actually in the deal
The MOU’s core demands on Iran are substantial. Negotiators have outlined restrictions on nuclear development, including dismantling enrichment infrastructure, capping missile capabilities, and removing stockpiles of enriched uranium.
On the other side of the ledger, the Trump administration is reportedly pushing to fold this agreement into a much larger regional peace architecture. The vision includes expanded Abraham Accords signings, with Saudi Arabia and Qatar specifically named as targets for further engagement with Israel.
