Report: U.S. and Iran Discuss Bringing MoU Into Force Tonight
The United States and Iran are reportedly discussing moving up the entry into force of a memorandum of understanding so it would take effect as early as tonight, instead of Friday. The report was published Thursday evening by the American news site Axios.
According to the report, the memorandum would be signed electronically. That step would not replace the planned meeting between the negotiating teams on Friday in Switzerland.
Axios said the accelerated timeline would allow the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened earlier than expected, and would also make it possible to publish the contents of the memorandum of understanding.
