Trump says Iran deal may be signed tomorrow as US officials reveal details of agreement
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Iran and the US may be signed in Switzerland on Friday, though White House officials clarified that a leaked CNN document does not reflect the exact language of the agreement. The draft outlines US plans to lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports while Iran commits to ensuring safe merchant ship passage through the Strait of Hormuz, with nuclear discussions deferred to a final deal.
The White House has confirmed that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Iran and the US could be signed during a ceremony in Switzerland on Friday. However, a document leaked to CNN—later republished by Bloomberg—does not accurately represent the final text, according to White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung. The proposed agreement includes the US lifting its naval blockade of Iranian ports, while Iran would take steps to guarantee the safe movement of merchant ships through the Strait of Hormuz. On nuclear issues, the draft states Iran will reaffirm its long-standing pledge never to develop a nuclear weapon, with further details to be addressed in a final agreement. International sanctions against Iran will remain in place, but the US would issue waivers for Iranian oil exports immediately upon signing the MoU. Additionally, billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets would be released as negotiations progress over the next two months. The White House emphasized that the leaked draft does not reflect the exact wording of the final MoU, though it provides insight into the framework for ending the conflict and initiating talks. The agreement remains subject to review and finalization before the signing ceremony.
