Carter spoke on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday.” He described the document as “performance-laden,” adding that Iran would receive benefits only if it meets its obligations.
Agreement details The MOU text outlines a path to billions in funding for reconstruction across war-torn Iran, a complete ceasefire in Lebanon, and efforts to end all U.S. sanctions on Tehran. The text also triggers a 60-day period for further negotiations on oversight of Iran’s nuclear programs.

Lindsey Graham said Sunday on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” that he thinks the agreement “is going to fail.” Carter said the outcome depends on Iranian actions during the negotiation window.
