Claims have emerged from Iran that the United States is attempting to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to end the war in time for President Donald Trump's birthday.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated in a Telegram post on the 13th (local time) that President Trump is showing "unusual persistence" to finalize the MOU signing by his birthday, which is the 14th.
The Revolutionary Guard pointed out, "The signing schedule insisted upon by the U.S. is a test for our negotiating team," adding, "Our negotiating team has clearly stated that the MOU has not yet been finalized and that it will not be signed on Sunday (the 14th)."
This reflects their displeasure with President Trump repeatedly setting a date for the signing ceremony on social media, despite Iran denying the possibility of an MOU signing on the 14th.
The Revolutionary Guard further added, "Some suggest that President Trump's insistence stems from a desire to use this signing ceremony symbolically and turn it into a personal promotional event."
Previously, President Trump said in an interview with U.S. media the day before that the MOU to end the war with Iran was in the final stages of coordination and that he expected a signing ceremony to be possible this weekend.
Following this, President Trump announced on Truth Social that the U.S. and Iran are scheduled to sign an agreement on the 14th to end the war and achieve denuclearization.
However, Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responded to the possibility of an Iranian delegation visiting Geneva, Switzerland, or Islamabad, Pakistan, within the next few days to sign the MOU by saying, "There are no plans to head to places like Geneva within the next 1 to 2 days."
