Cong attacks Modi govt over US-Iran deal, calls 'Islamabad MoU' a setback
The Congress on Thursday came down heavily on the government after the US and Iran signed a peace deal, saying the pact being called the 'Islamabad MoU' shows the new-found regional standing and global influence of Pakistan which is a "severe setback" to both the substance and style of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policy. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh noted that the 14-point Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the USA and Iran has now been officially released. "The fact that it is called the Islamabad MOU shows the new-found regional standing and global influence of Pakistan, a country that had once been isolated on the global stage by Dr. Manmohan Singh following the Mumbai terror attacks in November 2008," Ramesh said on X. "This is a severe setback to both the substance and style of Prime Minister Modi's foreign policy. Pakistan is now even more deeply embedded in the geopolitical and security architecture of West Asia which has grave and great ...

US-Iran deal seeks uranium curbs, sanctions relief, Hormuz reopening
A draft agreement by the United States and Iran calls for Tehran to dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and would waive, but not permanently end, sanctions on the country, according to US officials who read the language of the memorandum on ending the war to journalists. The agreement would also open the Strait of Hormuz toll-free for two months and affirm a commitment to Lebanon's territorial integrity in the face of Israel's invasion against the Hezbollah militant group. US officials dictated the language to journalists Wednesday after days of secrecy, speaking on condition of anonymity. Iranian state TV later released text that largely tracks what the US put out. Meanwhile, Iran suggested the document could be signed by Presidents Donald Trump and Masoud Pezeshkian.

According to the officials, the .
