People walk past anti-U.S. murals outside the former U.S. Embassy in Tehran on June 15, 2026.
The U.S. and Iran have reportedly signed on to some kind of agreement to end the war, only no one has yet seen the interim agreement they e-signed, both sides seem to be making incompatible claims about what’s in it, Israel doesn’t seem to agree with the agreement, and nothing has taken effect or will until the agreement is actually physically signed on Friday, at which point the real negotiations over major unresolved issues — like Iran’s nuclear program — will also begin. As far as supposed peace deals go, this one remains literally sketchy, regardless of what President Donald Trump is claiming about it. Here’s a running list of questions about the pending memorandum of understanding, based on the most recent reporting, analysis, and general vibes.
We don’t actually know. Pakistan and Trump announced that a deal had been finalized shortly before his big UFC birthday bash on Sunday, and Iran says there’s a final agreement too. Everyone agrees there will be a final in-person signing of that agreement on Friday in Geneva, Switzerland, but as of right now the contents of the actual agreement have not been made public.
