Barak Ravid reports that the United States and Iran signed their Memorandum of Understanding overnight, according to two American officials. The signing was conducted digitally and is now in effect, the sources said.
Journalist Barak Ravid reported early Thursday that two senior American officials told him the U.S. and Iran signed their Memorandum of Understanding overnight. The signing was electronic and the document is now in effect, according to the sources.
This report follows a thread The Zioneer has tracked over the past week. On Wednesday evening, a U.S. official told Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) that the MOU had been signed but each side could still withdraw until a binding deal was reached. Earlier Wednesday, foreign sources reported that talks had shifted to an electronic signing, possibly as early as that day. The latest report from Ravid moves the narrative further: two officials now state the signing is complete and in force, without caveating with revocability.
If confirmed, the development would mark a major milestone in the U.S.-Iran track, which has oscillated between reports of a pending ceremony and divergent accounts over signatures. The text of the MOU remains confidential, and no official White House or Iranian government statement has been issued at this hour. The Strait of Hormuz provisions, reported to take immediate effect upon signing, are a key open question.
