Tehran has firmly rejected signing any agreement with the United States on Sunday, June 14, which coincides with the US President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday.
Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency, citing informed sources, reported that Iranian officials will not allow the process to be used for “media or promotional purposes.”
President Trump publicly stated on Saturday that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran was scheduled to be signed on Sunday.
The proposed framework aims to extend a ceasefire, facilitate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for international navigation, address sanctions relief including the potential unfreezing of Iranian assets, and initiate further talks on Iran’s nuclear program.
Fars News Agency highlighted Iranian officials’ explicit statements that the agreement has not been finalized.
It dismissed Trump’s insistence on the Sunday timeline as “strange” and suggested the date was chosen for symbolic value rather than diplomatic necessity.
Observers noted Tehran’s reluctance to provide what could be perceived as a high-profile “birthday gift” to the US president.
