Day 111 | Iran, US “remotely” sign deal to end war; now in effect: US media
The United States and Iran “remotely” signed the memorandum of understanding to end the war, according to Axios citing two senior American officials.
The MoU is now in effect, added the report.
The two released the text of their agreement to end the Middle East war, with Tehran committing to dilute its enriched uranium while being allowed to resume oil sales.
Washington commits to waive some sanctions and to facilitate the release of a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran supported by regional nations when a final agreement is reached on the Islamic republic's nuclear program, according to the text.
Readouts of the agreement, which is slated to be signed in Switzerland this week, were released by US officials and Iranian state media.
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he was prepared to "bomb the hell" out of Iran if they violated the agreement.
The agreement is essentially a prelude to a more detailed negotiation on Iran's nuclear program and other issues.
After the formal signing of the agreement, a two-month negotiating period will begin, with the much-anticipated reopening of the Strait of Hormuz -- a vital conduit for global oil and gas supplies -- as the first step.
