Axios reports that the finalized US-Iran agreement will be officially named the 'Islamabad Agreement,' according to a diplomatic source. The naming follows a series of reports indicating a breakthrough is imminent, including Trump's confirmation of a 60-day ceasefire framework and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Axios reported on Monday afternoon that the US-Iran agreement will be formally titled the 'Islamabad Agreement,' citing a diplomatic source familiar with the matter. The name — referencing Pakistan's capital — adds a specific designation to what has been described in recent days as a memorandum of understanding (MOU) framework.
The report builds on a rapid cascade of bulletins over the past 24 hours. On Sunday evening, The Washington Post reported the deal was 'closed' and would be signed in Geneva or Rome. President Trump later confirmed an 'excellent settlement' on the war, and separately said he was told that Mojtaba Khamenei — the supreme leader's son — had approved the agreement. Trump's earlier remarks outlined a 60-day ceasefire, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz without shipping tolls, and US sanctions relief.
A senior Israeli official dismissed the expected MOU as a non-binding 'bluff' on Monday, saying real talks on missiles, proxies, and enrichment remain unresolved. No official confirmation from Iranian or US authorities on the final naming or signing timeline has been published at the time of this report.
