has not decided on proposed MoU with U.S."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The political, legal and technical dimensions of the proposals are still under careful review by the country&#8217;s experts and decision-makers, Fars reported, citing a source close to the Iranian negotiation team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The source stressed that any decision on the potential MoU will be made based on safeguarding national interests, observing Iran&#8217;s red lines and receiving the necessary guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the news agency reported on Sunday that a Qatari delegation had traveled to Tehran for consultations with Iranian officials and to review the latest developments pertaining to the diplomatic process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Saturday, Pakistan&#8217;s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wrote on X that the peace deal between the United States and Iran was expected to be finalized within the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that a peace deal with Iran was scheduled to be signed on Sunday and that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen immediately afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei reportedly denied that a MoU would be signed on Sunday, citing what he described as &#8220;the other side&#8217;s hesitation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview with state-run IRIB TV on Friday night, Iran&#8217;s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said the signing of the MoU could take place within the next few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that once finalized, the MoU would be signed digitally by both sides in their respective countries and then announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Araghchi noted that following the potential signing, both parties would commit not to initiate any further war and would begin a second stage of negotiations, scheduled within 60 days to reach a final agreement, focusing mainly on Iran&#8217;s nuclear program and sanctions removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also said the proposed MoU would include provisions to end the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, and would require Israel to withdraw from the occupied areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other key issues in the MoU include reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, fully lifting the U.S. anti-Iran naval blockade, and releasing Iran&#8217;s frozen assets, Araghchi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent weeks, Iran and the United States have exchanged several peace proposals through Pakistan&#8217;s mediation and have been working to finalize an MoU aimed at ending the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
