Iran’s deputy foreign minister said early on Monday that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Iran and the US had been finalised and would be officially signed on Friday, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
Kazem Gharibabadi said the formal signing ceremony for the MOU would take place in Geneva, Switzerland, according to remarks carried by Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency.
He also said the lifting of the US naval blockade against Iran would begin on Sunday night US time.
Gharibabadi described the memorandum as the result not only of diplomacy but also of Iran’s military achievements during the conflict.
“The enemy that launched the attack failed in all of its malicious objectives, and the Islamic Republic achieved major victories in the war,” he said.
He added that Iran had included all of its key positions in the draft memorandum and said the full text would be published after the official signing.
According to Gharibabadi, Iranian officials will also explain the various dimensions and achievements of the agreement through public media before the signing ceremony.
US President Donald Trump confirmed on Sunday that a deal with Iran had been completed and announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz along with the lifting of the US naval blockade.
