President Donald Trump and Iranian leaders have welcomed a newly finalized memorandum aimed at easing tensions, with the agreement expected to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday.
A potentially historic development in US-Iran relations is set to take center stage this week as President Donald Trump considers publicly releasing details of a newly finalized agreement between Washington and Tehran before its formal signing ceremony on Friday.
Speaking to Fox News on Monday, US Vice President JD Vance revealed that Trump is weighing the option of unveiling the contents of the accord ahead of schedule. According to Vance, officials from both countries have already electronically signed the agreement, with an in-person signing ceremony expected later this week.
Trump also confirmed that a memorandum of understanding designed to end hostilities between the United States and Iran has been completed. Speaking alongside Emmanuel Macron before the G7 summit, Trump described the memorandum as a significant achievement and suggested that its contents could become public shortly after the formal ceremony.
A senior US official said the framework agreement is intended to bring an end to nearly four months of tensions and conflict. The official also predicted a gradual increase in shipping activity through the Strait of Hormuz once implementation begins.
In Tehran, Masoud Pezeshkian welcomed the memorandum, calling it an important opportunity to resolve longstanding issues and strengthen regional stability. Iranian media reported that more than 90 percent of members of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council support the deal.
Meanwhile, Abbas Araghchi said senior negotiators from both countries are expected to meet in Switzerland on Friday before the agreement is formally signed and a new phase of talks begins. While acknowledging the potential economic benefits, he emphasized that Iran would remain cautious based on previous experiences with Washington.
