— And while I agree with Seyyed Nabavian on most of his criticisms on the points of this MoU, I think it somewhat makes sense that Iranian control is not explicitly mentioned.
Diplomacy is a delicate thing. America would never accept a document where it explicitly agrees to hand over control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran.
What matters is the practical reality. Iran already manages the Strait of Hormuz, and has shown that. It doesn’t need to be put on paper (at least not at this point), the reality on the ground speaks for itself. The Foreign Ministry has been very clear there will be service fees and Iranian management.
Just like there are points of ambiguity in the agreement that may favor America, for example the vague timeline for troops withdrawal and such, there are also points of ambiguity that favor Iran, such as the Strait of Hormuz. This depends on the strength and weakness of each party, and when it comes to Hormuz, this is the U.S. weakest point, it can’t do anything about Iran imposing its own management. It’s a simple fact.
There are also mines that need to be cleared. As long as that’s the case, ships will use Iranian shipping lanes and the de-facto control of Hormuz will be in Iran’s hands for the near future.
It’s politically indefensible for the U.S. to actually acknowledge Iranian sovereignty over the Strait. The best case scenario is an MoU where this point is ‘silently omitted’, which in practice allows Iran to control the Strait without publicly embarassing America.

—❗️Trump says the uranium can be downblended inside Iran
In other words, the stockpile won’t be transferred abroad; Iran will continue to have control of its enriched uranium and will only dilute it in accordance with gradual full economic sanctions relief.
No sanctions relief, no dilution. Very important, Iran keeps its main leverage.

— I just want to say one thing.
While we may be satisfied with some aspects and dissatisfied with other aspects of the MoU, there is one reality.
When the U.S. started this war, their objective was a complete regime change in Iran and an unconditional surrender like we saw in Venezuela.
This totally failed and they suffered a humiliating defeat, and that alone is a divine victory. Iran is the only country in history that managed to stand against a combined all-out American-Zionist assault. We should never forget that.

Bottom line, nobody is happy.
That’s just diplomacy I guess.
But I think the U.S. & Israel will be more unhappy than Iran. Time will tell.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 CNN, citing five sources familiar with U.S. intelligence:
Iran has started dispersing its highly enriched uranium stockpile, collapsing some tunnel entrances, and placing mines and booby-traps inside the well-protected underground facilities.
The moves are aimed at significantly complicating the process of accessing and retrieving the material.
This would make it much more time consuming for Iran to downblend the enriched material, should a deal with the U.S. be reached, buying time for Iran to covertly resume enrichment.
It would also make any special military operation to retrieve the uranium extremely dangerous and risky.

An Israeli company BlackCore ran digital interference operations targeting elections in France, the US, Scotland, Angola and Togo, according to Viginum, France's official disinformation watchdog.
In March 2026, BlackCore targeted 3 mayoral candidates from France's hard-left party, La France Insoumise (France Unbowed), in Marseille, Toulouse and Roubaix.
The smear campaign used fake websites, AI-generated images, and hundreds of inauthentic social media accounts to falsely accuse candidates of criminal allegations, including sexual assault and rape.
French prosecutors have opened an investigation. The charges include espionage, electoral interference, and online terrorism offences.
The attacks focused precisely on his pro-Palestinian position. Swinney had described the situation as a "man-made humanitarian catastrophe" and suggested genocide might be unfolding in Gaza.
Before the company wiped its entire online presence following media inquiries, BlackCore described itself as "an elite influence, cyber, and technology company built for the modern era of information warfare".
It claimed to provide governments and political campaigns with "cutting-edge strategies, advanced tools, and robust security to shape narratives".
The company's digital footprint was traced to servers in Britain, Germany, Finland and Lithuania. It presents itself as a private contractor. The question of who paid for these operations remains open.
France has formally requested an official explanation from Israel.
"I do not doubt for a single instant that if a French private group, from French soil, had engaged in foreign digital interference in Israel, they would have done the same to its ambassador on site," PM Sebastien Lecornu put it directly.
The Israeli embassy in Paris said it was waiting to receive details from the French probe and denied any intention to interfere in French politics.
