JUST IN: Trump Admin Reveals Official Particulars Of Iran Deal
The Trump administration on Wednesday defended its new framework agreement with Iran, arguing the regime will receive only limited relief while negotiators spend the next 60 days trying to strike a permanent deal over Tehran’s nuclear program.
Senior officials revealed that the agreement would immediately allow Iranian oil exports to resume, though they insisted broader sanctions relief and other benefits would depend on whether Iran ultimately follows through on its commitments.
“The U.S. Department of Treasury will issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products and derivatives and all associated services including banking transactions, insurances, transportation, etc,” the agreement states, according to officials.
Administration officials declined to release the written text of the memorandum, saying they delayed making its contents public at Tehran’s request.
“We were trying to accommodate their domestic messaging and their domestic politics,” an official said.
Despite unveiling the agreement, administration officials repeatedly stressed that they remain deeply skeptical of Iran’s intentions.
One senior official said negotiators entered the talks with “the full expectation that they will lie and they will cheat,” arguing that any final agreement would require strict monitoring and enforcement.
Another official later warned the administration would not hesitate to abandon the talks if Iran was “just dragging us along and kind of bullshitting us.”

The framework establishes a 60-day negotiating period, with discussions over a permanent agreement expected to begin after Friday’s signing ceremony.
During that period, the United States agreed not to impose additional sanctions or deploy new troops.
Officials also said the arrangement calls for U.S. forces to return to the posture they maintained before Operation Epic Fury once a permanent agreement is reached.
“The United States of America further undertakes to remove its forces from the proximity of the Islamic Republic of Iran within 30 days after the final deal,” the document reads, according to officials.
The agreement also lays out a framework for at least $300 billion in future reconstruction and economic development efforts involving Iran and regional partners. Officials emphasized that the provision does not commit the United States to paying for those projects and instead would allow outside investment if Tehran complies with a final accord.
Another provision guarantees toll-free commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz while negotiations are underway. Officials said long-term arrangements will be left to later discussions involving Iran, Oman and other Gulf nations, while insisting regional allies would oppose any effort by Tehran to charge vessels for passage.
The biggest issue remains unresolved.
Rather than settling the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program, the framework leaves the fate of Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile and future enrichment activities to future negotiations.
Officials said the minimum outcome would involve down-blending enriched material under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, though many details have yet to be finalized.
Administration officials acknowledged that the provision leaves room for improvement.
“Of course that’s a flaw, and we will push for more than that. But the fact that they’re conceding to that is a major, major win for the United States of America. They’re saying we will destroy the enriched stockpile, and this is how we’re going to do it at a minimum,” one senior U.S. official said.
The memorandum also envisions the eventual lifting of United Nations sanctions, as well as primary and secondary U.S. sanctions, though officials stressed that such relief remains tied to Iran’s compliance with a final nuclear agreement.
Asked whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been provided a copy of the agreement, officials said Israeli leaders had been kept informed throughout the negotiations.
One official added that Netanyahu “has not asked us for a copy of it.”
