According to a senior US official, President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf approved the agreement, with a formal signing ceremony scheduled in Geneva on Friday. The MoU creates a 60-day negotiation period to resolve key issues, including Iran's nuclear programme. The deal is also expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route, while discussions continue over regional security and the situation in Lebanon. (PC: BBC)
