Negotiations for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran to end the war are underway, but face numerous obstacles including internal Iranian opposition, Israeli interference, and the issue of Iranian enriched uranium being exported abroad. The United States and Iran are currently discussing exchanging the release of Iranian oil for the end of the Hormuz Strait blockade, and Trump's upcoming visit to China is expected to accelerate the negotiations. Israel's airstrike on Beirut also presents a variable that could impact the agreement.
