US and Iran sign an MOU to end the war

The United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran have inked a memorandum of understanding, according to Reuters, quoting an unnamed senior U.S. official.

From the U.S. side, President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance and, on Iran's end, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf have signed the accord, marking a pivotal step towards easing tensions between the two rivals.

Though, details about the agreement have been kept under wraps for now.

However, the report indicates the details are expected to get public within the next 24 to 48 hours.

Meanwhile, the talks on technical aspects of the agreed framework will take place later this week.

The U.S. official further added the deal would end the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by both the parties involved, and the passage would be immediately reopened.

In addition, the signing of the agreement, according to the Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, will take place on June 19 in Geneva.
