TEHRAN, Iran โ A source close to the Iranian negotiating team dismissed as inaccurate reports that Iran and the United States would sign an agreement in Geneva on Sunday. The source said no text of an initial draft memorandum of understanding with the US has been approved yet.
Western officials said Friday that the US and Iran were expected to sign a memorandum of understanding ending the war in Geneva on Sunday. A G7 official said a senior Iranian figure told them overnight that an agreement was likely, but stressed that it was not a finalized deal.
Another G7 official said there were signs a signing was close, but cautioned that similar diplomatic progress had fallen through before. No further details were immediately available on the status of the draft text or the timing of any potential signing.
