US and Iran offer conflicting accounts of peace deal, with Washington demanding nuclear dismantlement and Tehran denying new obligations; formal signing set for June 19 in Geneva.
The US and Iran are presenting sharply different interpretations of a newly announced peace deal aimed at ending months of conflict. The main disagreement centers on Tehran's nuclear program, with Washington saying the deal requires its dismantlement while Tehran insists it has accepted no new nuclear obligations. The future of Lebanon also remains uncertain, with questions over whether the agreement covers Hezbollah and the Lebanese front. Washington portrays the deal as finalized, while Tehran says it still requires implementation, verification and formal signing in Geneva on June 19.
