The anticipated peace agreement between Iran and the United States has sparked media speculation, prompting Tehran to urge caution. Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, announced that the 'Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding' is nearing completion and reassured that full details will be disclosed once finalization occurs.
According to diplomatic sources cited by CNN, the agreement, to be signed in Geneva, encompasses a 60-day ceasefire, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and various sanctions relief for Iran. However, Iranian spokesperson Esmail Baghaei refuted claims of a finalized deal, asserting ongoing negotiations.
In a post on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump accused Iran of misrepresenting the agreement and criticized Iran's leadership for dishonorable conduct. He alleged Iran's responsibility for attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, despite US military acknowledging their involvement, exacerbating tensions between the countries.
