Nerves High Ahead of War-End Agreement; Iran Says "Not Tomorrow"
Amid speculation that the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to end the war between the United States and Iran is imminent, Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that "the signing will not take place tomorrow (June 14, local time)."

According to a report by Iran's state-run IRIB broadcaster on June 13 (local time), Baghaei said, "We need to wait and see regarding the timing of the MOU signing," adding, "While it will not be tomorrow, we cannot rule out the possibility of signing within the next few days."

However, he explained, "We must be cautious as the other side has not made any comments regarding this process," and noted, "The Islamabad MOU currently under discussion focuses on ending the war, and it has been decided not to discuss nuclear issues at this stage."

The United States and Iran are continuing a final war of nerves over the venue for the signing ceremony and the inclusion of agendas related to Iran's nuclear development in the MOU, should it be finalized.
