Kyiv • UNN
The US and Iran will sign a memorandum on a ceasefire and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The negotiations will take place online due to Trump's visit to the G7 summit.
The US and Iran are expected to hold online negotiations on Sunday with the participation of mediators from Pakistan and Qatar. During the meeting, the parties intend to remotely sign a memorandum of understanding in an electronic format. This was reported by Axios, according to UNN.
Details
US officials and sources from mediating countries confirmed that the signing of the agreement will indeed take place in a virtual format. This is largely due to logistical considerations.
According to sources, one of the main reasons is that US Vice President JD Vance, who leads the American negotiating team, would not be able to return to the US before President Donald Trump's departure for the G7 summit in France. Trump's departure for the summit is scheduled for Monday morning.
It is noted that the US, Iran, and mediators have been working on a framework agreement for three months. The memorandum of understanding is expected to extend the ceasefire for 60 days, open the Strait of Hormuz, and initiate negotiations regarding the Iranian nuclear program. Additionally, the document aims to end the war and potentially stabilize energy markets.
