According to the agency, the 14-point memorandum was signed digitally by Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. The document extends the ceasefire for another 60 days, during which the parties are to agree on a permanent peace deal.
Trump's Threats
During a press conference at the G7 summit in France, Trump emphasized that Washington is ready to return to military action in the event of a violation of the agreements by Iran.
"We will bomb them (Iran - ed.) if they violate the agreement. I don't want them to do that. I want them to follow the agreement,"
Earlier, he also stated: "If I don't like it, if they don't behave well, we will immediately go back to dropping bombs."
The Agreement Remains Temporary for Now
As Reuters notes, US officials emphasize that the memorandum is not a final peace treaty, and the parties can still withdraw from negotiations before a legally binding agreement is concluded.
Despite this, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the agreements have already entered into force, and negotiations for a permanent settlement will continue over the next two months.
