The MOU is significant but not yet signed; it extends the ceasefire by 60 days, reopens Hormuz, and initiates nuclear talks. Key unknowns: frozen Iranian assets and enriched uranium stockpiles.

The deal could collapse if both sides don't agree to extend talks; Israel's actions in Lebanon are a major risk factor.

Israel's strike on Beirut delayed the deal; Trump pressured Netanyahu. Hezbollah's actions also matter. The deal's survival depends on US persuading Israel to ease attacks on Lebanon.
