Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister said the memorandum of understanding with the US was drafted in an atmosphere of distrust, and the final text will be published only after signing, according to a statement carried on Iranian channels. The remark adds a note of caution to a fast-moving diplomatic thread in which Iranian officials have alternated between signaling progress and denying final approval.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister commented late Wednesday evening that the memorandum of understanding currently under negotiation with the US was drafted in an atmosphere of mutual distrust, and that the full text will only be released after signing, according to a statement carried on Iranian channels. The official's characterization is the latest in a series of cautious, often contradictory signals from Tehran about the status of the talks.
The remark follows days of conflicting Iranian statements. On June 11, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said the country would only sign a deal that serves its interests. By June 12, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said he would release the MoU details only after finalization, while a senior Israeli official dismissed any expected agreement as a non-binding 'bluff.' On June 13, Iranian officials simultaneously urged caution citing Pakistani instability, stated the MoU focuses on ending the war rather than the nuclear issue, and saw a parliamentary official note that published excerpts are incomplete.
As The Zioneer has reported across this thread, no single Iranian statement has yet resolved whether a signing is imminent or still subject to internal supreme-authority review. The Deputy FM's new framing reinforces the pattern: each official signals enough to manage expectations, without committing the regime to a final public text.
