Recurring claims
  • The US-Iran peace deal currently being negotiated is far less comprehensive than the Obama-era agreement.
  • Iran holds the upper hand in the peace negotiations, with the US negotiating from a position of weakness.
  • The 14-point Memorandum of Understanding signed by Trump and Pezeshkian only initiates a 60-day negotiation window with all points subject to renegotiation.
