Trump Iran framework offers sanctions relief as talks continue

The Trump administration has agreed to a framework with Iran that would provide immediate oil sanctions relief while leaving the most difficult nuclear issues for later negotiations. According to U.S. officials, the deal creates a 60day window for Iran to comply with nuclearrelated commitments in exchange for access to frozen funds and broader relief tied to oil exports and related services. Officials said the arrangement includes monitoring and enforcement measures, but also acknowledged they expect Iran may not fully comply. The proposal has drawn mixed reaction. Supporters say it gives diplomacy a chance after military pressure, while critics argue the United States is giving up leverage before Iran has agreed to concrete steps on its nuclear program. Key issues, including the fate of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, ballistic missiles, and proxy funding, are still to be negotiated.
