Trump Signs Iran Peace Deal at Versailles

President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding at the Palace of Versailles, aiming to halt hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The agreement includes sanctions relief and a 60-day window for negotiating a permanent settlement, though critics warn it concedes too much to Tehran.

Trump dismissed opponents as 'fools,' while Republican senators accused him of abandoning red lines on Iran's nuclear and missile programs.

The deal has already begun to lower oil prices and ease global shipping fears, but questions remain over enforcement and Israel's rejection of the terms.
