Trump, Vance, Ghalibaf signed Iran-US MoU - Reuters

The memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran has been signed by President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Reuters reported on Monday, citing a senior US official.

The official said details of the agreement would be released within the next 24 to 48 hours and that technical discussions would be launched later this week.

The official added that relief of frozen funds and sanctions relief would be tied to performance.

The senior US official said the US understanding was that Ghalibaf had been authorized by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to sign the agreement and negotiate.

The official added that Washington was prepared to release frozen funds and provide sanctions relief, adding that the US may make some small gestures at the beginning of the process.

The official said Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon was not a condition of the deal and that Israel would have the right to defend itself from Hezbollah attacks.
