US and Iran and the mediators are discussing holding the signing of the MoU, currently scheduled for Friday, as early as Wednesday, Axios reports citing sources

  • If that happens, the MoU would be signed electronically, the parts of the deal concerning the Strait of Hormuz would go into effect, and the US might finally release the text of the agreement.
  • Source said the discussions around accelerating the timetable were intended to open the Strait of Hormuz sooner than Friday, as both parties were in agreement on that issue.
  • Another factor could be the political pressure on the White House to release the text of the MoU.
  • Source claimed it was Iran that demanded the text not be published until the formal signing, and denied the White House was responding to political pressure.
  • Even if the timing changes, the meeting between the US and Iranian delegations headed by Vance and Ghalibaf will take place as planned on Friday in Switzerland.
  • White House has said since Sunday that the opening of the Strait by Iran and the lifting of the US blockade would only begin on Friday, after the formal signing ceremony, but the source notes that would be moved up if the deal is signed earlier.
