## Summary

On 17 June 2026, [President Trump](/ko/entity/united-states) and [President Pezeshkian](/ko/entity/iran)
electronically signed a 14-point memorandum extending their ceasefire 60 days, ending
a war that began in late February. The deal halts fighting on all fronts including
[Lebanon](/ko/entity/hezbollah), lifts the US naval blockade, reopens the [Strait of Hormuz](/ko/entity/strait-of-hormuz),
and opens talks on Iran's nuclear program, sanctions relief, unfreezing ~$12B in
assets, and a reconstruction plan. Iran briefly re-closed Hormuz on June 20 citing
Israeli strikes in Lebanon. The first high-level talks at Burgenstock, Lake Lucerne
, led by VP JD Vance and Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, with
Pakistan and Qatar as mediators, concluded June 22 with both sides agreeing a 60-day
road map for a final deal, a [Hormuz](/ko/entity/strait-of-hormuz) deconfliction communication
cell, and [Iran's acceptance of IAEA inspectors](/ko/n/iran-nuclear-iaea-dispute-june2026)
back into the country. Vance: "We laid a very good foundation." Technical talks began
immediately. Trump separately threatened US tolls on Hormuz if no final deal by
August 22. Pezeshkian in Islamabad June 23: missiles are not part of any deal.

## The split

[Washington](/ko/entity/united-states) presents the 14-point MoU as a victory, Iran agreed to
negotiate nuclear limits in exchange for sanctions relief and reconstruction investment.
[Tehran](/ko/entity/iran)'s official framing is the inverse: resistance forced a US retreat, and
the missile programme and supreme leader's authority over the nuclear file are non-
negotiable. Iran has not confirmed the US-published text. European capitals, through
the E4, want Iran to suspend enrichment beyond 60% as a precondition for European
sanctions relief, creating a secondary track that Washington has sidelined. The Lebanon
clause remains the live flashpoint: [Hezbollah](/ko/entity/hezbollah) and Israel each accuse the other of
violations, and Iran holds Hormuz re-closure as the enforcement threat.

## By the numbers

- June 17, 14-point MoU signed; 60-day ceasefire clock started.
- June 20, Iran briefly re-closed Hormuz citing Lebanon strikes.
- June 22, Burgenstock talks conclude: road map, Hormuz deconfliction cell, IAEA access agreed.
- June 22, Trump threatens US tolls on Hormuz if no final deal by August 22.
- June 23, Pezeshkian in Islamabad: no missiles in any deal.
- ~$12B, Iranian frozen assets at centre of sanctions-relief talks.
- 45 days, time remaining on the 60-day final-deal clock (as of June 25).
- 60%, enrichment level above which E4 demands suspension.

## Why it matters

The ceasefire is holding but contested on every major clause. Lebanon is the trip wire:
another Israeli-[Hezbollah](/ko/entity/hezbollah) escalation gives [Iran](/ko/entity/iran) grounds to re-close
Hormuz, re-triggering the [oil-supply shock](/ko/n/hormuz-oil-supply-shock). The nuclear
inspection dispute, who verifies, with what access, is the irreducible core of
whether a durable deal is possible at all. The E4's insistence on 60% enrichment
suspension creates a three-cornered negotiation between Washington, Tehran and Brussels
that the 60-day clock may not resolve.

## What to watch

- Whether IAEA inspectors gain access to disputed Iranian enrichment sites.
- Whether Lebanon holds through the 60-day window without triggering Hormuz closure.
- Whether the E4's 60% enrichment demand is included or bypassed in the draft framework.
- Pezeshkian's domestic position as the supreme leader maintains missile-programme redlines.
