CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.52
US and Iran signed a framework in mid-June to negotiate a potential agreement by the end of August, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because with inspectors locked out of Fordow and Natanz, the world no longer knows how much enriched uranium Iran actually has, shrinking the warning time before a possible weapon and raising the odds of a preemptive Israeli or US strike based on guesswork.
