IRAN said on Monday that once a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United States is formally signed, the two key remaining topics are the lifting of all sanctions and nuclear issues.
Iran, the United States and Pakistan early on the day announced the finalization of the MoU on ending the war following weeks of negotiations, adding that it will be officially signed in Switzerland on Friday.
Speaking to reporters in Tehran, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei responded to the upcoming signing, detailing the issues that would be taken up after the signing.
"According to this Memorandum of Understanding, the US is obligated to lift all sanctions against Iran, including both primary and secondary sanctions, as well as all United Nations Security Council sanctions and the relevant resolutions of the IAEA Board of Governors and the Agency itself. This issue, together with the nuclear file, forms part of the topics to be discussed the day after the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, with the goal of reaching a mutual understanding and agreement on them within 60 days," said Baghaei.
He also listed some of the other provisions in the MoU.
"The release of Iran's blocked or restricted assets, alongside reconstruction and compensation for damages, constitute two important issues from an economic perspective. Under this Memorandum of Understanding, the US commits to taking concrete actions regarding both matters," he said.
On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and other Iranian cities. Iran responded with waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and U.S. bases and assets in the region, and tightened its grip on the Strait of Hormuz, barring safe passage of vessels belonging to or affiliated with Israel and the United States.
