CIA Director John Ratcliffe briefed President Donald Trump that recent intelligence suggests Iran’s private intentions may not match the commitments it has publicly signaled under an emerging memorandum of understanding, according to Axios. The MoU signed on Sunday extends the ceasefire and sets a 60-day negotiation window covering Iran’s nuclear programme, sanctions relief and regional security. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth raised doubts, while advisers Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff backed the diplomatic track. Vice President JD Vance said the agreement could be formally signed in person on Friday, and Trump rejected reports the US would pay Iran USD 300 million.
