Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Wednesday the signing of a memorandum of understanding between President Masoud Pezeshkian and Donald Trump remains under consideration as the two nations prepare for a Friday ceremony in Switzerland to formalize the accord ending their military conflict.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman on Wednesday confirmed that the signing of a memorandum of understanding between President Masoud Pezeshkian and his US counterpart Donald Trump "is on the table," as both sides prepare for a scheduled ceremony in Switzerland to end their military conflict. "This idea is on the table and is still being considered," Esmail Baghaei told a news briefing, according to state news agency IRNA.

Baghaei stated that "no changes" have been made to Tehran's plans to hold the Switzerland meeting to sign the agreement on Friday. The comments came amid ongoing preparations for the high-stakes diplomatic event aimed at halting hostilities between the two nations.

Agreement terms

The United States and Iran announced on June 14 that they had reached consensus on the memorandum to end their military conflict. The signing ceremony is scheduled to take place in Switzerland on Friday, marking a potential turning point in relations after months of warfare.

Regional tensions

The region has remained on edge since the US and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran in late February, triggering Iranian retaliation against Israel and other regional countries hosting US assets. Washington and Tehran agreed to the memorandum earlier this month after weeks of indirect negotiations.
