The agreement will be signed on Friday in Geneva, Switzerland
The US and Iran said they have agreed on a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict, which began on February 28 with a joint US-Israeli bombing campaign and prompted Tehran to close the Strait of Hormuz to most shipping.
The agreement will be formally signed on Friday in Geneva, Switzerland.
Although the exact details of the deal have not been made public, Iran said the document would focus on ending the war and reopening the strait, while the two sides would have 60 days to negotiate the future of Iran’s nuclear program.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had ordered “the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz” and the end of the US naval blockade of Iranian ports.
“Let the oil flow!” he added.
The talks were repeatedly stalled and delayed, with both sides accusing each other of making unacceptable demands and citing a lack of trust.
Most recently, Iran threatened to suspend the negotiations over Israel’s continuing strikes in Lebanon. In an effort to prevent the talks from collapsing, Trump reportedly demanded that Israel halt the attacks during several heated phone calls with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
