Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman stated that the exact date for signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the United States will not be tomorrow, according to a report circulating on Israeli media. The comment adds a new layer of caution to a thread in which Iranian officials have offered conflicting signals on the status and timing of the deal.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said Friday that the exact date for signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the United States will not be tomorrow, according to a report on Israeli media. The remark follows days of conflicting signals from Iranian officials: earlier this week, IRNA stated no final text exists until Tehran approves, the Iranian FM suggested a 60-day MoU could be extended, and reports emerged of a possible remote signing format rather than in Geneva. As The Zioneer reported, President Trump retweeted the Iranian FM's post signaling the deal was 'never closer.' The spokesman's latest comment does not rule out a signing on a later date nor deny an understanding is final, but explicitly rules out the expected timeline.
