Trump said there was an agreement ready to be signed today and thus unblock the Strait of Hormuz. Iran denied it, pointed to an agreement “in the next few days” and, after all, it has not yet decided whether it wants to sign the memorandum or not.
Iranian news agency Fars, known for strong links with conservative circles, reported on Sunday that the Iran had not yet decided sign the memorandum of understanding under discussion with the United States to end the war.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has not yet taken or announced its final decision regarding the memorandum of understanding proposed during the negotiations,” Fars wrote, citing “a well-informed source close to the Iranian negotiating team.”
The possibility of such a deal is opposed by some hardliners, who are hostile to concessions, particularly regarding control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the start of the war.
