[Trump Sets the Tone on Iran Agreement, Aiming to Refute U.S. Failure Narrative] BlockBeats News, June 19 — While the conflict between the United States and Iran may have paused, the battle over public opinion regarding who won and who lost has just begun. Both nations are portraying the memorandum of understanding signed by their leaders on June 17 as a victory for their respective sides. Analysts believe Iran has gained the upper hand by securing new sanctions relief and reconstruction funds. In contrast, the U.S. has merely achieved the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that was operating normally before the outbreak of war. Additionally, the U.S. obtained concessions on Iran's nuclear program, but these concessions had already been made by Tehran previously. The White House has distributed a list of talking points to its allies, aiming to frame the agreement as a political victory. (Jin10)
