The split, in one line
The Washington Examiner frames the MoU skeptically, quoting a senator who calls Iran's engagement rope-a-dope and urges Rubio as a backup if Vance fails. Al Jazeera and Reuters focus on the diplomatic agenda and logistics. The Jerusalem Post highlights Gulf allies' alarm over $300 billion reconstruction fund and the MoU's failure to address ballistic missiles.
