Trump said the “Iran deal should be successful” and described the agreement as “a fair, good deal”. His remarks come after the major breakthrough, with both the US and Iran confirming that the text of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been finalized and is awaiting formal ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland.
Trump emphasized that the current framework “goes to a second stage”, suggesting Friday’s signing is not the end of negotiations but the beginning of an implementation period. That second phase is expected to focus heavily on verification, sanctions relief sequencing, and the future of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
While the broad political framework appears agreed, technical details, including uranium stockpiles, enrichment limits, and inspection mechanisms, remain unresolved and are expected to dominate the next 60 days of talks. What matter for market though is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz which is expected to return to normal traffic in the coming months.
Trump has also reiterated that the US is “not investing any money in Iran” aimed at preempting criticism from people who fear the US may be offering Iran large economic concessions. The comment directly addresses speculation surrounding possible Iranian access to frozen assets or infrastructure funding tied to compliance. Trump and Vice President JD Vance have both stressed that any economic relief would be conditional and performance-based rather than an upfront financial transfer.
Trump has also emphasized that “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon” repeating the central red line. He coupled that with a warning by saying that Iran would “suffer” and “all hell will break out” if Iran attempts to pursue nuclear weapons. The last comments saying that "Iran is now is the rear-view mirror" and "the deal can survive Israel attacks on Lebanon" suggest he's done with this for good and really wants to move on.
