US intelligence chief reportedly warned President Trump that evidence gathered on Iranian leaders suggests they are unlikely to follow through on the recently signed interim deal.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe told President Donald Trump and other senior officials that US intelligence has raised serious doubts about whether Iran intends to make the nuclear concessions Washington is seeking in a final agreement, Axios reported Tuesday, citing three sources familiar with the discussions.

The warning came as the Trump administration defended a memorandum of understanding announced Sunday that is intended to extend a ceasefire, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and begin 60 days of negotiations toward a broader nuclear agreement with Tehran.

According to Axios, Ratcliffe was not alone in raising concerns. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also questioned parts of the MOU during internal administration discussions, while Vice President JD Vance and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner argued in favor of the framework.

The internal debate took place during a series of high-level meetings before Sunday’s announcement.

Axios reported that Trump and his advisers reviewed intelligence collected by several US agencies indicating that Iranian officials’ private discussions about the agreement did not match what they were telling mediators and the US. Read more, and see video here.

Newly revealed details of the secretive US-Iran MOU lay out that it would extend the cease-fire to Lebanon, allow Iran to manage the Strait of Hormuz, temporarily waive Iranian oil sanctions and establish a pathway toward a comprehensive peace agreement, Israel’s Channel 12 reported Tuesday.

The framework, which would serve as the basis for broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran, outlines commitments on nuclear issues, sanctions relief, maritime security and the eventual withdrawal of American forces from the region.

The following 12 points were first revealed by Axios reporter Barak Ravid, who also works for the Israeli channel. The document has previously been described as a 14-point agreement.

Iran, the US and their allies would stop fighting across the region — including in Lebanon.

Tehran would reaffirm its pledge never to build a nuclear weapon.

The US and Iran would work out what happens to Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile.

Both sides would open talks on Iran’s future enrichment activities and nuclear needs.
