BAGHAEI: TEHRAN-WASHINGTON AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE SIGNED TOMORROW

TEHRAN, JUNE 13 /SRNA/ – The signing of a memorandum on resolving the conflict between the United States and Iran will not take place tomorrow, but it is possible that it could happen in the coming days, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said.

"Information about the exact timing of the signing of the memorandum must still wait. Although it will not happen tomorrow, the possibility that it could happen in the coming days is not excluded", Baghaei told Iranian State Television. Earlier today, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that the United States and Iran had reached an agreement on the framework of a peace deal and that the signing was expected within the next 24 hours. US President Donald Trump announced that a peace agreement with Iran would be signed tomorrow, that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, and that good relations with Tehran would be established in the near future. However, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said that an agreement between Iran and the United States would not be signed tomorrow, rejecting Trump's claims and assessing that his insistence on that deadline represents pressure on the Iranian negotiating team. On its Telegram channel, the Revolutionary Guard stated that Trump's "unusual insistence" that the agreement be signed tomorrow represents "a test for the Iranian negotiating team". The Guard also assessed that Trump wants any potential signing of the agreement to be linked to his birthday on June 14, claiming that the US president is trying to turn the event into a "personal promotional spectacle".
