Iran Says US MoU Could Be Signed Remotely as Hardliners Oppose Draft
Iran indicates a memorandum of understanding with the US might be finalized remotely within days, while hardliners criticize the draft. Washington ties any relief to nuclear dismantlement, and tensions persist in the Strait of Hormuz after CENTCOM reports downing drones targeting shipping.
Iran has signaled that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United States could be signed remotely in the coming days, according to reports. Hardliners within Iran are attacking the draft agreement, highlighting internal opposition to the potential deal.
Washington has linked any relief to Iran’s dismantlement of its nuclear program. Meanwhile, tensions in the Strait of Hormuz remain elevated after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) stated it had downed drones that were targeting shipping in the region.
The situation underscores ongoing geopolitical risk in the Persian Gulf, with implications for energy markets and broader macro sentiment.
