After media outlets connected to the Iranian government reported details of a potential agreement that looked very favorable to Tehran, Trump ripped into its leaders as \u201cvery dishonorable people to deal with,\u201d with whom \u201cthere is no such thing as dealing in good faith.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Residents swim and play in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz while cargo ships and commercial vessels lie anchored in the distance off Bandar Abbas, Iran, on Wednesday, June 10.\" class=\"wp-image-2573\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e6be27777253e4eb44d2a7fa75e6deb9-768x492.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e6be27777253e4eb44d2a7fa75e6deb9-768x492.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e6be27777253e4eb44d2a7fa75e6deb9-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e6be27777253e4eb44d2a7fa75e6deb9.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Residents swim and play in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz while cargo ships and commercial vessels lie anchored in the distance off Bandar Abbas, Iran, on Wednesday, June 10.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Razieh Poudat\/ISNA\/AP<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            So what would Trump be trying to iron out with his irredeemably dishonest counterparts?\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Let\u2019s look at some of the potential sticking points, and why Trump could have some trouble selling the ultimate terms to the American public as a real accomplishment.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Halting Iran\u2019s nuclear program\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            This is the most important aspect of any potential peace deal, and it\u2019s extremely complex.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Trump administration is telegraphing that Iran is agreeing that its nuclear program will be dismantled and committing \u201cindefinitely\u201d to not building a nuclear weapon. But even if that\u2019s true, the details on how that would happen and how to enforce it in the future are critical \u2014 and have become a major point of contention before. It\u2019ll surely take weeks just to iron that out.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            A senior administration official on Friday cited a new \u201cinspection regime,\u201d but details are thin so far.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            For example, would Iran give up <em>all <\/em>of its nuclear program, even the parts that could seemingly be used for civilian purposes? Or would it just agree not to enrich uranium beyond a certain level, theoretically preventing it from having access to weapons-grade uranium?\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It sounds like the latter, with the official saying Friday that \u201cwe\u2019re not bothered at all by the idea of civilian power plants in Iran.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Iranian workers work zirconium production plant during President Mohammad Khatami's visit of the Uranium Conversion Facility, just outside the city of Isfahan, south of Tehran, Iran, on March 30, 2005.\" class=\"wp-image-2574\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/58ed051bb914b81da67ef9d784d87288.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/58ed051bb914b81da67ef9d784d87288.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/58ed051bb914b81da67ef9d784d87288-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Iranian workers work zirconium production plant during President Mohammad Khatami&#8217;s visit of the Uranium Conversion Facility, just outside the city of Isfahan, south of Tehran, Iran, on March 30, 2005.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Vahid Salemi\/AP\/File<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"In this October 2010 photo, a worker rides a bicycle in front of the reactor building of the Bushehr nuclear power plant, just outside the southern city of Bushehr, Iran.\" class=\"wp-image-2575\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12949dab223241bb120a6fff5eef3238.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12949dab223241bb120a6fff5eef3238.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12949dab223241bb120a6fff5eef3238-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>In this October 2010 photo, a worker rides a bicycle in front of the reactor building of the Bushehr nuclear power plant, just outside the southern city of Bushehr, Iran.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Majid Asgaripour\/AP<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            And, crucially, how would inspectors ensure Iran is abiding by any agreement?\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump has played up the idea that Iran committing not to build a nuclear weapon would be a major win. But in fact, Iran has <em>claimed<\/em> for many years that it isn\u2019t doing that.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The real crux here would be how the Trump administration would ensure compliance. Adding to the complications, the US president will need to make clear how the deal would be better than the one the Obama administration negotiated, since he\u2019s constantly derided that as too weak. That one had restrictions on Iran\u2019s uranium enrichment and had the United Nations\u2019 nuclear watchdog verifying compliance.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The big hurdle here: There are many Iran hawks in Trump\u2019s own party who say Tehran simply can\u2019t be trusted to abide by the terms of any deal. Trump\u2019s comments Friday about how unreliable Iran is obviously underscore that problem.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Iran\u2019s highly enriched uranium\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The uranium that is already highly enriched causes its own issues. The Trump administration has said Iran needs to turn it over, but it\u2019s buried deep in the ground after US airstrikes a year ago.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And Trump has repeatedly and conspicuously alluded to the possibility that the US might not ultimately obtain those materials.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            He\u2019s floated the idea that the US military could merely \u201centomb\u201d the areas and monitor them. \u201cThat\u2019s so far \u2060underground, I \u200bdon\u2019t care about that,\u201d he said at one point back in April.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            There is also some talk about how the uranium could instead be \u201cdownblended\u201d so it\u2019s not so highly enriched, but would remain in Iran\u2019s possession as fuel.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A satellite imagery taken on January 30, 2026 shows a new roof over a previously destroyed building at Natanz nuclear site, Iran.\" class=\"wp-image-2576\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/15deaaee89f515a5d1b6a3d96eb09187-768x498.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/15deaaee89f515a5d1b6a3d96eb09187-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/15deaaee89f515a5d1b6a3d96eb09187-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/15deaaee89f515a5d1b6a3d96eb09187.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>A satellite imagery taken on January 30, 2026 shows a new roof over a previously destroyed building at Natanz nuclear site, Iran.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Planet Labs PBC\/Handout\/Reuters<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            The senior administration official said Friday that the interim agreement involves the uranium being \u201cdestroyed on-site and then taken out of the country.\u201d But they conceded that it\u2019s \u201cgoing to take a little bit of time to figure out\u201d exactly how that will happen.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2561\">Jan. 6 debanking probe once floated as way to pad anti-weaponization fund<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            It\u2019s difficult to see how Trump could sell this as a major win without getting the enriched uranium that Iran already has.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Iran\u2019s frozen assets\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            This is where Trump\u2019s old rhetoric could really come back to bite him.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Back in 2016, he and his fellow Republicans lambasted the Obama administration for giving Iran $400 million in cash in a transaction tied to a hostage release and the nuclear deal.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The money wasn\u2019t strictly a gift. It was instead used to resolve claims at an international tribunal at The Hague over a failed 1979 arms deal. But the optics were terrible, and Trump and others claimed the money would be used for terrorism.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            (The $400 million was actually the first installment in $1.7 billion that was due to the Iranians.)\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Today, Iran appears to be insisting on unfreezing a much larger sum of its assets: $24 billion.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n            When the potential unfreezing of the assets was first reported in April, Trump assured: \u201cNo money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But he might be playing a semantic game, differentiating between unfreezing assets and handing over cash. That seems to be the fine line the Trump administration might walk, at least judging by Vice President JD Vance\u2019s X post Friday.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance reiterated that Iran wouldn\u2019t get \u201ccash,\u201d but added that \u201cno funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting.\u201d That sounds like funds would indeed be unfrozen at some point.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vice President JD Vance speaks with the media as he arrives at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on May 28.\" class=\"wp-image-2577\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fa538da9c10b01b7945a0bf35c3083de.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fa538da9c10b01b7945a0bf35c3083de.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fa538da9c10b01b7945a0bf35c3083de-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Vice President JD Vance speaks with the media as he arrives at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on May 28.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Matt Rourke\/Pool\/Reuters\/File<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            But technically speaking, the 2016 payment was also money that was supposed to be in Iran\u2019s possession.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Based on Iran\u2019s public red lines, it seems like money has to be involved somehow. But if it is, Trump is opening himself up to similar claims that he\u2019s giving Iran money that could be used for terrorism.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Opening the Strait of Hormuz\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            While many of the details risk looking somewhat like Obama\u2019s Iran deal, the Strait of Hormuz presents a new variable in these negotiations.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            After all, the war has given Iran a major strategic victory there. It has proven Iran is capable of effectively shutting down the strait \u2014 and negatively impacting the entire world economy \u2014 as a leverage point.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The big question here is not so much whether Iran relinquishes its effective control over the strait for now; the Trump administration would surely demand as much. It\u2019s how the deal addresses Iran\u2019s seeming ability to lock down the strait in the future.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            If this issue is left unaddressed and the rest of the deal looks a lot like the Obama nuclear deal, it will be pretty easy for Trump\u2019s critics to argue it\u2019s a worse deal.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vessels are anchored in the Strait of Hormuz, as seen from Musandam, Oman, on Thursday, June 11.\" class=\"wp-image-2578\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/b90e617c2fd78dcf90ef49e1dfa32f63-768x432.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/b90e617c2fd78dcf90ef49e1dfa32f63-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/b90e617c2fd78dcf90ef49e1dfa32f63-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/b90e617c2fd78dcf90ef49e1dfa32f63.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Vessels are anchored in the Strait of Hormuz, as seen from Musandam, Oman, on Thursday, June 11.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Stringer\/Reuters<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\n        Iran\u2019s proxy groups\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Early on, Trump and those around him said one of their most important goals was making sure Iran can no longer fund its proxy groups \u2014 like Hamas and Hezbollah \u2014 which spread terror in the region.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            When Trump falsely claimed two months ago that Iran had agreed to all of his demands, he said that included a commitment to stop backing all proxy groups.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But then, Trump and the administration largely stopped talking about the issue at all.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            A senior administration official told CNN on Friday that Iran <em>is<\/em> agreeing not to fund terrorist groups.
