On Tuesday, July 14th, 2026, former President Donald Trump declared the memorandum of understanding signed approximately one month earlier between the United States and Iran a "dead letter."

The agreement, which was intended to represent a form of peace or understanding between the two nations, has been dismissed by Trump as ineffective and no longer valid. The memorandum had been viewed by some as a step toward easing tensions, but Trump's statement signals a rejection of its legitimacy.

This development marks a significant shift in the diplomatic landscape between the U.S. and Iran.
