Iran's Fars News Agency reports Tehran has not yet given a final answer but says the likelihood of approval is high, noting that the US has agreed to Iran's proposed text. The assessment marks the latest in a series of conflicting signals over the status of a potential US-Iran framework.
Iran's Fars News Agency reported at 23:16 that while Tehran has not yet delivered its final response, the chances of approval are high because Washington accepted the proposed text drafted by Iran. The report, the latest in a volatile thread The Zioneer has tracked throughout the evening, lands hours after Fars itself dismissed Trump's weekend announcement as invalid (22:57) and after the agency had earlier claimed the US backed down from its demands (22:31).
As The Zioneer reported at 22:24, Iran's state news agency assessed a deal was likely while President Trump was set to speak with PM Netanyahu. Minutes later, CBS News reported an MOU could be signed early next week (22:31), and Fars separately said the US abandoned its new demands. By 22:57, Fars pivoted to rejecting Trump's claim outright. The thread has therefore moved from Iran's denial of any MOU approval (versions 3–5, published at 20:43) to conflicting reports suggesting a deal may be near — though each step has come with caveats or denials.
The broader picture, as The Zioneer previously reported, includes an Axios report (21:00 Jerusalem) of an 'in-principle' MOU requiring Mojtaba Khamenei's approval, a Pakistani source telling Al-Hadath (June 10) that the parties are far from signing, and VP Vance's remark (June 9) that a deal could come in a week or months.
No official confirmation from Tehran or Washington has been published. The nature of the approval — final or conditional — and the timeline for a signed accord both remain unverified.
