That breakdown matches what CNN and other outlets reported May 26, 2026. The “95% done, 5% is everything” line sums up where things stand.
*Where they agree:*
1. *60-day MOU framework*: Stop active fighting, set a window for detailed talks
2. *Strait of Hormuz*: Gradual reopening over 30 days once mines are cleared
3. *Nuclear talks*: Iran agrees to enter negotiations on its program once the MOU is signed
4. *“No Dust, No Dollars”*: Sanctions relief is tied to Iran’s compliance, not given upfront
*Where they’re stuck:*
1. *Frozen assets*: Iran wants billions released immediately on signing. U.S. says no - assets only unfreeze after the Strait is actually reopened and verified
2. *Nuclear stockpile*: U.S. says Iran agreed to surrender enriched uranium. Iran says that wasn’t part of the framework - only to start talks about it
3. *Lebanon*: Iran wants a full regional ceasefire. Israel, with U.S. backing, wants to keep freedom of action against Hezbollah
4. *Sanctions*: Iran wants all sanctions lifted in the MOU. U.S. says specifics get negotiated later in the 60-day window
5. *Ballistic missiles*: Not in the current draft, even though it was a U.S. demand going in
