But the issue opened the administration to claims of hypocrisy given Trump\u2019s frequent, inflated claims about Iranian assets released to Tehran after the Obama administration\u2019s 2015 nuclear deal.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump defended his agreement at the G7 summit on Tuesday in France and said he\u2019d be willing to read it out loud. Vice President JD Vance, tasked with selling the MOU at home, attributed the delay to diplomatic technicalities in the Muslim and Arab world. He also insisted that any economic payoff for Iran would depend on living up to a promise in the document to never seek a nuclear bomb.\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 walks to speak with reporters upon arriving at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on May 28.\" class=\"wp-image-2928\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2651ff42005c9a876709eb286543d9b3.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2651ff42005c9a876709eb286543d9b3.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2651ff42005c9a876709eb286543d9b3-300x200.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 walks to speak with reporters upon arriving at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on May 28.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Matt Rourke\/Pool\/Reuters<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Vance\u2019s comments hinted that an administration founded on the art of the deal envisages a tantalizing grand bargain for Iran that could end its status as a pariah state.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe fundamentally have transformed the Middle East, whether they comply or not.

With Iran, it is notoriously excruciating \u2014 one reason Trump\u2019s remark Tuesday that the next stage of consultations, on Iran\u2019s nuclear program, will be \u201ceasier\u201d seemed unwise. The talks leading to the nuclear deal with Iran signed under the Obama administration took at least 18 months.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The US officials told Liptak and Treene that some of the text in the MOU is purposely vague to allow the Iranian side to sell their work in a treacherous domestic political environment. Generally, this is a plausible approach. Successful diplomatic talks involve sensitivity to the constraints faced by those on the other side of the table \u2014 particularly when those talks include representatives of a repressive government whose own safety may be at issue. And effective peacemaking often involves presidents creating an illusion of progress to stir momentum and buy time for hard negotiations to slog ahead.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            So it would be premature to write off hopes that the memorandum of understanding can forge real progress and eventually yield a deal \u2014 especially since both Iran and the United States have strong incentives to stop the war.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, a frequent Trump administration critic, told CNN \u2019s Kaitlan Collins in France at the G7 summit that he\u2019d seen the text and thought it was a \u201cgame changer.\u201d But Carney also framed the memorandum as more of an understanding on extending a ceasefire than a fully fleshed-out deal.\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=\"US President Donald Trump (L) speaks with Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney during a work lunch as part of the G7 summit, in Evian, eastern France, on Tuesday.\" class=\"wp-image-2930\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/9cb88e1aee54a5e942283aaa970c583c.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/9cb88e1aee54a5e942283aaa970c583c.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/9cb88e1aee54a5e942283aaa970c583c-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>US President Donald Trump (L) speaks with Canada&#8217;s Prime Minister Mark Carney during a work lunch as part of the G7 summit, in Evian, eastern France, on Tuesday.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Evelyn Hockstein\/AFP\/Pool\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Yet the president is under pressure to justify the huge economic and international political disruption caused by the war; the deaths of 13 US service members and an unknown number of Iranian civilians; and tens of billions of dollars spilled on US operations and ordnance.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s critics accuse him of solving nothing but the problem he caused \u2014 Iran\u2019s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil trafficking route \u2014 and of securing no concrete, verifiable commitments for Iran to foreswear nuclear development.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The administration\u2019s best argument is that it severely damaged Iran\u2019s nuclear program in air raids last year and buried its stocks of highly enriched uranium, making it impossible to build a nuclear device.
