I am pleased to hear the memorandum of understanding with Iran to allow the Strait of Hormuz to open has been agreed to. I will be watching closely the ensuing negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program and other matters.
I am somewhat concerned that Iran’s view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming.
Under our law, any nuclear deal with Iran will be sent to Congress for review and a vote. I look forward to reviewing the final product and I believe it is imperative that the architect of the deal, Vice President Vance and his negotiating partners, be part of the process in presenting the final deal to Congress.
Congratulations to all in getting us to this point. Time will tell.

Analysis Summary
A US-Iran draft agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz was under negotiation as of June 14, with a signing potentially planned for June 19 in Switzerland. Graham's core claims about divergent interpretations between US and Iranian negotiators are verified by reporting from NBC, CNN, NYT, and Fox News. However, the agreement remained a draft memorandum of understanding—not a finalized deal—at the time of his statement. His reference to congressional review under the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act is broadly accurate, though the law provides Congress with a review period rather than guaranteeing a vote on approval. The specific roles of Vance and his team in the negotiations remain unconfirmed in published reporting. The tone is measured and appropriate for senatorial commentary on an ongoing diplomatic process.

“memorandum of understanding with Iran to allow the Strait of Hormuz to open has been agreed to”
Confirmed by Trump, Pakistani PM Sharif, Iranian officials, and multiple major outlets (NBC, CNN, NYT, Fox News).
“Iran's view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming”
Multiple sources document disparities: Iran denied Sunday signing timeline; US officials claim Iran will not receive frozen funds before 60-day negotiating period; Iran pushed for Lebanon ceasefire inclusion.
“Under our law, any nuclear deal with Iran will be sent to Congress for review and a vote”
Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act requires presidential submission within 5 days and congressional review period. Congress can vote to approve or disapprove but does not require affirmative vote for implementation.
