The US and Iran have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to end their nearly four-month-long deadlock. This is the biggest breakthrough since the conflict started earlier this year.
Reuters reports that a senior US official said President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf (who leads Tehran’s negotiating team) have electronically signed the agreement. The formal signing ceremony is expected to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, on Friday.
Agreement Details are Expected Shortly.
While both Washington and Tehran have confirmed that a deal has been reached, the full details have not yet been released.
The US officials said the contents of the memorandum of Understanding (MoU) are expected to be made public within the next two days. The agreement follows more than two months of intensive negotiations aimed at ending hostilities and reopening key trade routes affected by the conflict.
The framework is expected to establish 60 days of negotiations during which both sides will attempt to resolve some of the most sensitive outstanding issues. Among the major topics expected to be discussed are the future of Iran’s nuclear programme and the mechanisms needed to implement the broader agreement. The formal ceremony planned for Friday is expected to provide further clarity on how both countries intend to move forward.
