U.S. and Iran to Sign Memorandum on June 19, Including Lebanon, Hormuz Strait Clauses

According to multiple reports, the United States and Iran will sign a memorandum of understanding on June 19 to end conflict in Lebanon and address the Hormuz Strait, with the document spanning approximately 1.5 pages. The agreement will allow Iran low-level uranium enrichment and involve phased sanctions relief, with Britain, France, Germany, and Italy committing to lift sanctions. Trump stated the Hormuz Strait will fully open on Friday, with the first energy tanker already passing post-agreement.

Israel's government said it is not bound by the agreement's Lebanon terms and will not withdraw from the territory. Hezbollah continued firing rockets at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, while the Israeli military conducted airstrikes in the region, with both sides sustaining combat operations.
