THE United States and Iran have electronically signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at ending the war, U.S. media reported on Monday.
The memorandum was virtually signed by U.S. President Donald Trump, U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, according to reports.
The terms of the memorandum are expected to be made public within the next 24 to 48 hours, a senior U.S. official was quoted as saying.
The memorandum is expected to be formally signed in Switzerland on June 19.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in his social media post on Monday that a memorandum of understanding reached with the United States marks an important step toward stopping the war and launching negotiations.
Pezeshkian noted at the same time that the final agreement has not yet been formed and Iran has prepared for all possible scenarios.
Some provisions of the MoU have already taken effect on Monday and the remainder are to be implemented after the MoU is formally signed on Friday, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi.
