Ahead of the Signing: The United States and Iran are Circulating Conflicting Versions of the Agreement

Washington and Tehran are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding on Friday, but are already engaged in a struggle over how its terms should be interpreted. The United States is demanding that the Strait of Hormuz remain fully open to international shipping, while Iran has signaled that it intends to continue exercising control over the waterway. The release of billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets is also disputed, with conflicting accounts emerging over the timing and conditions for unfreezing the funds. At the same time, while Hezbollah is celebrating what it describes as the “liberation of Lebanon,” American officials maintain that Israel retains the right to defend itself.
