There is a positive understanding here in Tehran about this memorandum of understanding.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its spokesperson, told the media this evening that, yes, there is a proposal; it is now under consideration by the supreme leader of Iran, and also the top leaders of the country, and that it might well end in a kind of signing.
But the news about a location and timing are probably speculations at this moment.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with President Donald Trump Thursday evening after the US president’s post on social media claiming that Israel supported a potential impending agreement with Iran.
In a readout of the call from the prime minister’s office, Netanyahu “expressed his appreciation” to Trump for his commitment that a final agreement with Iran would remove Tehran’s enriched uranium, dismantle its nuclear infrastructure, limit its missile production and halt its support for regional proxies.

The U.S. launched strikes on “multiple targets in Iran” late Wednesday afternoon Eastern time, U.S. Central Command said in a statement, without providing further details. Explosions could be heard in several southern Iranian cities, according to semiofficial Iranian news outlets.
Netanyahu has faced a tumultuous term since returning to power in December 2022 at the helm of the most right-wing coalition in Israeli history. He faced mass anti-government protests before the wars in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.
Polls have repeatedly indicated that his coalition would fail to win a majority at the next election. A poll published by the Jerusalem-based Israel Democracy Institute think tank on June 9 said that 61% of the Israeli public believe he should not run.
„I don‘t know,“ Trump said when questioned about whether Netanyahu would lead Israel’s upcoming election. „He‘s had an incredible career. Does he want to continue? Because, you know, he‘s a wartime prime minister. We‘re going to win this war very soon, one way or another, and he‘s a wartime prime minister.“
Trump explicitly framed the long-serving Israeli leader‘s future as uncertain, signaling that Washington may already be preparing for a post-Netanyahu political landscape. „It‘s an open question whether Netanyahu will run again,“ Trump remarked to reporters. „I wonder if Bibi even wants to continue.

American forces „began launching self-defence strikes against Iran, at 5 pm ET today at the Commander in Chief‘s direction, in response to yesterday‘s downing of a US Army Apache helicopter,“ US Central Command said in a post on X.
„The mission is a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression,“ it added.

“I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump wrote on social media.
“There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond,” Trump added.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health says a total of 3,666 people have been killed since Israel escalated its attacks on the country on March 2.
A further 11,321 people have been wounded, according to the ministry.
Lebanon’s health ministry said an Israeli air strike on the southern city of Tyre on Tuesday killed at least eight people and wounded 32 others, noting the toll was provisional.
The strike was before Israel’s military issued an expulsion order for the entire city and surrounding areas, the National News Agency (NNA) reported.
Hours after the president’s latest optimistic assessment, Israel renewed its military assault in Lebanon, striking the southern city of Tyre and issuing an evacuation warning that for the first time included the port’s Christian quarter.
President Trump says Washington is in the final stages of negotiating an agreement with Iran and believes a deal could be signed within days.
Trump told reporters the accord would prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz “immediately” after signing.
In a forceful post on his X account on Sunday, Qalibaf issued a stark warning to the US and Israel, saying their military bases and assets across the region have become legitimate targets after the Israeli regime bombed Beirut‘s southern suburbs.
He said the United States has not been committed to the April ceasefire agreement with Iran and is not serious about dialogue.
„They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue,“ Qalibaf wrote.
By enforcing a naval blockade and breaching agreements related to Lebanon, he emphasized, they have made it clear that the only language they understand is that of power.
Israel notified the Trump administration before the strike, a U.S. official and two other sources with knowledge tell Axios
Der Vergeltungsangriff ist von Netanjahu nicht nur einkalkuliert, sondern bewusst herausgefordert worden. Der Konflikt zeigt wieder, dass Israel nicht vertragsfähig ist, eben wie die USA.
If the Senate were to secure those 60 votes and pass the war powers resolution, the chambers would have to work out differences in the text of the bill between the two chambers, which might require additional votes.
If both chambers pass identical versions of a war powers resolution, the measure would still require the president‘s signature to take effect — something that seems unlikely based on Trump‘s commitment to the war so far.
If Trump vetoes it, the House and Senate could override the veto only with two-thirds votes in each chamber, which is well above the support demonstrated so far. No war powers resolution has ever overcome a veto.
US President Donald Trump said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are on the same page as the conflict in Iran stretches into its 100th day, despite some disagreements between the leaders over Israel’s military offensive in Lebanon.
“We get along very well,” Trump said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” in a prerecorded interview that aired Sunday morning.
“We’ve been great comrades. We did a very, very big number on a certain country that was nothing but trouble for 47 years. I disagree with him on a couple of things,” Trump said.
Speaking with CNN’s Senior International correspondent Frederik Pleitgen in Tehran Sunday, Baghaei said the exchange of messages continued through Pakistani mediators.
“The main problem of negotiating with this administration is that you have to face so many changing positions, moving the goal posts, different statements, contradictory remarks by different officials, so it makes the whole process very cumbersome,” Baghaei said.
There were quite a number of sticking points, he said, “but the main issue is that the Americans must understand that they have to recognize Iran’s rights,” including its right to peaceful nuclear enrichment under the international non-proliferation treaty.
In an exclusive interview with CNN Senior International Correspondent Frederik Pleitgen in Tehran on Sunday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei acknowledged that messages continue to pass between Tehran and Washington via Pakistani intermediaries.
“The main problem of negotiating with this administration is that you have to face so many changing positions, moving the goal posts, different statements, contradictory remarks by different officials, so it makes the whole process very cumbersome,” he said.

Israel bombed Lebanon‘s capital, Beirut, again on Sunday, with at least three explosions heard so far.
According to witnesses on the ground, a multi-storey building has been hit.
US President Donald Trump has told NBC News that a deal with Iran is „very close“.
“We have a couple of points. They don’t even seem like big points,” Trump said. “They’ve conceded the fact that they will not have nuclear weapons. We had a clause in there that [they] will not develop nuclear weapons. And everybody was very happy with it except me.”

The two sides are “very close” to signing a pact, Trump said, but he is pushing for Iran to go further in abandoning its nuclear ambitions.
“We have a couple of points. They don’t even seem like big points,” he said. “They’ve conceded the fact that they will not have nuclear weapons. We had a clause in there that [they] will not develop nuclear weapons. And everybody was very happy with it except me.”
Trump said he wanted an additional provision to ensure Iran can’t execute an end run around a deal.
“And I said, ‘Well, what happens if they, not develop, but they go out and purchase, they acquire? I want to put the word, ‘if they buy, purchase or acquire,’” he said. “You know, you’ve got to have that in there, too, because that’s not developing. So, they don’t have the right to develop or purchase, acquire or buy.”
Since a ceasefire went into place in early April, Trump has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Iran to end the war Israel and the U.S. launched on Feb. 28. Israel has publicly expressed skepticism that Iran would abide by any negotiated deal. Netanyahu has pushed for a resumption of bombing raids against Iran and disagreed with Trump, who has pressed him to scale back attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to Western officials.
Israel is keenly interested in whether Trump decides to resume major combat operations against Iran or to end the conflict, the current and former U.S. officials and outside experts said.
The DIA reportedly posted an internal message raising the espionage threat level regarding Israel to “critical.” It also identified a series of specific incidents that heightened US concerns, one of the officials said.
The Pentagon is particularly concerned that Israel is surveilling top US officials to obtain information about internal deliberations among President Donald Trump‘s close advisors regarding decision-making on the conflicts in West Asia.
Analysts say ‘strategic leaks’ aim to influence public perceptions amid diplomatic impasse in US-Israel war on Iran.
