Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei's earlier statement that an MoU would not be signed tomorrow did not rule out the coming days — a new message notes that this contradicts his own prior denial, leaving the window for a US-Iran understanding open in the near term.
A new message circulating in Iranian media channels notes that Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei's earlier comment — that the MoU with the US would not be signed tomorrow — does not preclude a signing in the coming days, contradicting an interpretation by some outlets that he had categorically rejected the deal. The clarification preserves the possibility of a near-term signing, keeping the diplomatic thread active.
This development follows a week of rapid-fire signals from Tehran: On June 11–12, Foreign Minister Araghchi said he would only release details after finalization, and the ministry issued multiple statements ranging from cautious to skeptical. The Zioneer reported on June 12 that Araghchi also suggested the 60-day MoU window could be extended.
The current message does not resolve the core ambiguity: whether Iran's supreme decision-making body has signed off. The source is a single Iranian-aligned channel, and no independent confirmation has emerged. The bulletin should be read as a signal in an ongoing diplomatic saga, not a firm timeline.
