President Donald Trump may have signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran to end the war late Wednesday, but it doesn’t resolve a much darker issue: Iran’s nuclear weapons.
While Iran affirms that it won’t develop nuclear weapons in the agreement, curbing the actual process of making those weapons—stockpiling and enriching uranium—is left to be finalized later. Crucially, the MOU states that in the meantime, Iran will “maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program.”
