President Donald Trump is reportedly pushing to finalize a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran on June 14, coinciding with his birthday, according to hardline factions in Iran.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on June 13 via its Telegram channel that Trump is showing "unusual stubbornness" in wanting to complete the MOU on his birthday. They stated, "The timeline proposed by the U.S. is a test for our negotiating team," and emphasized that the Iranian team has made it clear that the MOU is not yet finalized and that it will not be signed on Sunday, June 14.
Despite Iran's denial of the signing possibility on June 14, Trump's repeated mentions of the signing schedule on social media have sparked strong displeasure from Iranian officials.
The IRGC also suggested that some believe Trump's insistence may stem from a desire to use the signing ceremony symbolically and turn it into a personal publicity event.
Earlier, Trump indicated in a media interview that the MOU with Iran was in its final coordination phase and suggested that a signing ceremony could take place over the weekend of June 13-14. He later reiterated on Truth Social that the U.S. and Iran are expected to sign an agreement on June 14 regarding the end of the war in Iran and nuclear disarmament.
