Trump Claims Strait Will be ‘Permanently Toll Free’ Under Agreement With Iran – The New York Times nytimes.com/2026/06/14/us/po…

Iran War Live Updates: Trump Announces U.S.-Iran Cease-Fire Agreement – The New York Times nytimes.com/live/2026/06/14/…

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran just published all 14 clauses of the MoU. Read them carefully, because this is not the deal Trump described.
The headline numbers: $300 billion in reconstruction commitments from the US and allies. $24 billion in released frozen funds, half before negotiations even start. Complete naval blockade lifted within 30 days. US forces withdrawn from around Iran.
Here’s the big one: Hormuz reopens under Iranian arrangements, meaning Iran keeps management of the strait.
The nuclear clause is Clause 9: Iran reiterates its commitment not to produce nuclear weapons. That’s it. No enrichment cap. No dismantlement. No inspector access beyond existing frameworks.
The actual nuclear terms get negotiated in a separate 60-day window, and Clause 14 explicitly removes Iran’s missile program and support for resistance groups from the agenda entirely. Permanently.
Iran’s Deputy FM called it a total victory this morning. He wasn’t spinning.

“I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait”
Iran says no ‘tolls’, but will charge ‘service fees,’ ‘security fees,’ and ‘management fees’ while keeping control (possibly with Oman).
Either that’s a word play to grant Iran a toll without calling it so. Or the deal’s clauses aren’t as clear on some of these issues.

Key Stories
ECB raises rates for first time since 2023 amid inflation concerns — The European Central Bank increased all three key interest rates by 25 basis points, marking its first hike in three years.

Armenia’s opposition rejects election results, escalating political crisis — Six Armenian opposition blocs and parties declared parliamentary elections illegitimate, blaming Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for systemic violations. Protests at the Central Election Commission and walkouts by opposition representatives may indicate a deepening governance crisis, with implications for regional stability.

The conflict’s prolonged nature is reshaping military strategies, with implications for global energy markets and NATO’s long-term support for Kyiv.
