In a recent statement, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty about reaching an agreement with Iran, suggesting that the United States might act unilaterally. This development follows a 60-day ceasefire and negotiation framework established in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Iran, mediated by Pakistan. The MOU, signed in June 2026, aimed to pause hostilities but left key issues unresolved, including Iran’s nuclear program. Trump’s remarks could indicate a potential breakdown in negotiations, affecting the likelihood of a comprehensive deal being reached this year.
