Donald Trump actually signed the MOU while in the Palace of Versailles because it's clear that no one in the White House thought about the optics here.
Yeah, I mean, they signed it for sure, but I think it's still alleged that it's over.
Right now, the most interesting things that are supposedly in this MOU that have been reported by Bloomberg and other media outlets is that among those 14 points is that the U.S. is going to lift the naval blockade, is going to lift sanctions on Iran, is also going to no longer quote-unquote interfere in Iran's internal affairs.

When it comes to the actual uranium, the highly enriched uranium that would be needed to build the nuclear weapons, that's been kicked down the road.
The United States said that it's going to take, what, 60 days and it's going to be conditions-based.
It's basically about hormones itself, whether or not it closes, like who gets the fee, whatever.

But that minesweeper thing, that might still come back into play because we have to remember before this whole thing, this MOU thing hit the news, South Korea joined this UK-led post-war naval support for the area sort of talk, right? And South Korea has said that it wants to take on a bit more of an active role in this region.
