A White House official confirmed to Reuters that President Trump had signed the relevant document. Iran's Foreign Ministry also confirmed through state media that both sides had officially signed the MOU.
U.S. online outlet Axios reported, citing two senior officials, that the signing had taken place and the document is now in effect.
Originally, both parties planned to meet in Switzerland on June 19 for an in-person signing ceremony. However, it was reported that the schedule was moved up by two days to expedite the reopening 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 a negotiating team headed by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, are expected to continue discussions as planned. It remains unclear whether a separate in-person signing ceremony will take place.
Earlier, the Trump administration announced on June 14 that an electronic signature had been completed with participation from President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Speaker Ghalibaf.
The disclosed draft includes provisions for both sides and their allied forces to cease military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, normalize navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and pursue a final agreement within 60 days.
