Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday that a memorandum of understanding on a U.S.-Iran peace arrangement was close to signing.
Araghchi told reporters the MoU statement would be signed and announced after negotiators completed final stages of talks. He did not provide a timeline for when that might occur.
The comments came as Pakistan reported progress in mediating between Washington and Tehran. Islamabad said a final agreed text had been reached, though Iranian officials had not confirmed that claim.
Diplomats said any MoU would likely address military de-escalation and the status of shipping lanes, including potential reopening of transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
Diplomatic sources on June 12, 2026 said reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting shipping restrictions remained central to any ceasefire arrangement.
