US, Iran set to sign framework agreement online

US and Pakistani leaders forecast a Sunday signing of a long-elusive framework agreement to end months of fighting between the United States and Iran, but Tehran cast doubt over the timing and hardline protesters in Iran voiced opposition.

Axar.az reports, citing Al Arabia, that US and Iranian delegations were expected to hold a virtual meeting today to sign the peace agreement adding that the meeting will be held in the presence of mediating states, Pakistan and Qatar.

The sources added that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed during the virtual meeting that will be attended by US Vice President JD Vance and Iran Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

Following the signing of the agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened and transit will be permitted without fees, the sources said added that the blockade on Iranian ports will be lifted, after the signing.

It should be noted that CNN previously reported that Iran had not yet made a final decision regarding a framework agreement with the United States.
