President Trump has set the date for the signing of the end-of-war MOU for June 14, Eastern Time.

He emphasized in capital letters that the Strait of Hormuz would be opened to everyone immediately after the signing.

He argued that while the nuclear deal under former President Obama was a path for Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, this agreement would serve as a "barrier to prevent the acquisition of nuclear weapons."

He also stressed that no money would change hands this time, highlighting that the signing of the MOU alone would not result in economic concessions, such as the unfreezing of Iranian assets.

He stated that the U.S. would enter Iran to secure its highly enriched uranium and dilute or destroy it, whether in Iran or the United States.

This appears to be a statement highlighting that the U.S. will directly participate in the dilution and destruction process, even if it accepts Iran's position that the materials cannot be sent to the U.S.

Regarding the signing method, U.S. media reported that it would be an electronic signature via video conference.

While a plan for Vice President Vance to travel to Geneva, Switzerland, was considered, the report suggests that the U.S. accepted Iran's demand for an electronic signature because the Vice President must remain in the U.S. as President Trump is set to depart for France soon for the G7 summit.

The New York Times analyzed that both the U.S. and Iran are focused on public relations, as both sides want to frame the signing of this MOU as a victory.
