Iran deal is in effect, White House says, as US officials reveal details of the agreement

Donald Trump says he has signed the US agreement with Iran, while the White House tells the media the deal is in effect.

US officials reveal details of the deal: the 14-paragraph agreement says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, and also commits to a $300bn fund for the “reconstruction” of the country – but the US is not required to contribute.

The agreement declares the “immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon”.

And it says the US and Iran “commit to negotiating and achieving the final deal in maximum 60 days, extendable with mutual consent.

Donald Trump earlier warned the deal is “not final”.

He said the US could resume attacks if the agreement doesn’t work out – “If they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head, OK?”
