Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated again after commentary published by Iranian state-affiliated media argued that Tehran should pursue nuclear deterrence, despite an interim peace agreement reached with Washington just two weeks ago.
The United States and Iran have officially signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at ending more than three months of conflict between the two countries. US President Donald Trump signed the agreement while attending the G7 Summit in France, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed it digitally from Tehran.
