US-Iran conflict resolution deadline expires with no deal
The cutoff date for the United States and Iran to finalize a pact to resolve their ongoing conflict went by this Monday without a formal agreement. Both nations had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding on June 17, which provided a 60-day window to negotiate a concluding settlement. Per the terms of that arrangement, the US committed to lifting its naval blockade, while Iran agreed to refrain from pursuing nuclear arms.
