A Pakistani source reported on Friday that Iran and the United States have reached a preliminary agreement and are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding within two months.
Reuters quoted the Pakistani source as saying that the mediation between America and Iran “achieved a breakthrough on thorny issues, and they have already reached preliminary agreements.”
He added that Tehran and Washington had made “significant progress in the negotiations, and are likely to sign a memorandum of understanding within 60 days.”
On Thursday evening, US President Donald Trump said, “Iran wants to reach an agreement, and we are very close to concluding one. We will not extend the truce, and the next meeting with the Iranians may take place early next week.”
He affirmed, “I will go to Pakistan if an agreement is reached,” adding that “many wonderful things will happen if an agreement is reached with Iran. We have very good relations with Iran, and this is incredible. But if we do not reach an agreement, the fighting will resume. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
