A White House official confirmed to Reuters that Trump had signed the relevant document. Iran's Foreign Ministry also confirmed through state media that both sides had officially signed the MOU.
Axios reported, citing two senior U.S. officials, that the signing had taken place and the document was now in effect.
The two sides had originally planned to hold an in-person signing ceremony in Switzerland on June 19. However, it was reported that the schedule was moved up by two days to expedite the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Nonetheless, not all local events on June 19 have been canceled. A delegation led by U.S. Vice President JD Vance and the Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is expected to continue follow-up discussions as planned. It remains unclear whether a separate in-person signing ceremony will be held.
Earlier, the Trump administration announced on June 14 that an electronic signature had been completed with participation from Trump, Vice President Vance, and Speaker Ghalibaf.
The disclosed draft includes provisions for both sides and their allied forces to cease military operations across all fronts, including Lebanon, normalize navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, and pursue a final agreement within 60 days.
