Trump, Pezeshkian sign MOU to remove all US sanctions on Iran

Key Facts

1Trump and Iranian President Pezeshkian signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding on June 17 that includes removal of all US sanctions on Iran on an agreed schedule.

In a dramatic shift in US policy toward Iran, President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding on June 17. The memorandum provides for the removal of all US sanctions on Iran according to an agreed timetable, according to a report by Fortune magazine.

The agreement comes after years of intensifying US sanctions on Iran and marks a sharp reversal from the "maximum pressure" policy previously pursued by the Trump administration. The lifting of sanctions is expected to significantly boost Iranian oil exports, potentially weighing on global crude prices and negatively impacting Gulf oil producers.

Investors and analysts will watch the deal's impact on global oil market balance, especially with the next OPEC+ meeting approaching. Attention will also focus on the reactions of Gulf oil-exporting countries and any shifts in the next US administration's Middle East policy.
