Al Jazeera’s Osama bin Javaid explains that, if the version of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) read out by a senior US official is accurate, Iran’s leadership would be pleased “because it does [appear to] give into quite a lot of their demands”.

“But as the US president has been saying, his priority was to make sure that he de-nuclearises Iran,” bin Javaid says.

“He’s been able to get them to agree to water down their fissile material. He’s got a commitment that they will not be enriching uranium and never build a [nuclear] bomb — and that, to Donald Trump, is the victory he was after.”

He adds that the MoU appears to be very close to what Iran was asking for.

“We’ll have to wait and see until the final agreement is signed by the two sides,” he said. “Until they sign on the dotted line, we are not 100 per cent sure that this is the final document.”
