In a phone interview with ABC News on June 1, Trump expressed optimism about the ceasefire negotiations, saying, "I believe we can reach an agreement on the MOU within the next week."
He noted that "Iran wants an agreement," but did not specify the conditions for the agreement or when a final signature might occur.
The MOU serves as an initial agreement that would pave the way for subsequent negotiations to end the conflict. ABC reported that the U.S. and Iran are discussing a framework to resolve the impasse in the Strait of Hormuz and to schedule comprehensive nuclear agreement talks.
The current draft reportedly includes provisions for easing Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, lifting U.S. port sanctions on Iran, and addressing issues related to Iran's nuclear program. However, specific terms are expected to be discussed in follow-up negotiations over the next 30 days.
No official agreement has yet been reached. ABC noted that while both sides have exchanged several drafts, it remains uncertain whether the Iranian regime has reached a consensus to move forward with a final agreement.
