US President Donald Trump predicted on Friday evening that an agreement with Iran would be signed by the end of the week or next Monday, noting that Tehran had “secretly apologized” for spreading “false information” about the terms of the agreement.
Trump said, “I still think the agreement could be signed by the end of the week or on Monday,” considering Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi’s statement about the imminent signing of an agreement “a very positive thing,” according to the American news website Axios.
Trump added: “I demanded a public explanation regarding official Iranian media reports about Tehran receiving billions of dollars in frozen assets,” noting that “Iran privately apologized for providing false information about the agreement.”
Axios also quoted two sources as saying that “as of Thursday evening, the Iranian side had agreed at high levels to the agreement, but it is likely that the Iranian Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, did not approve it.”
Earlier today, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that a final and agreed-upon text of the “peace agreement” between the United States and Iran had been reached.
For his part, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi confirmed on Friday that the Islamabad memorandum of understanding is “closer than ever” to implementation, stressing that its details will be shared with the public in due course.
A senior official in the US administration revealed to Shafaq News Agency that the agreement with Iran stipulates Iran’s commitment to destroying the nuclear materials it possesses and removing them from the country, in addition to dismantling the infrastructure related to its nuclear program, denying what Tehran reported regarding postponing the handling of the nuclear file for 60 days or the continuation of enrichment operations.
He added that the release of frozen Iranian funds would not be done in advance, stressing that no dollars would be released before Iran fulfilled its obligations, and that the agreement was entirely based on the principle of implementation first.
Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, the US official stressed that the understanding ensures the strait remains open to international shipping, denying the existence of any arrangements that would allow the continuation of the restrictions imposed by Tehran in the past.
He pointed out that the agreement includes an Iranian commitment to stop funding groups classified on terrorism lists, indicating that this clause is an essential part of the understandings that were reached.
