U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding May Be Titled the "Islamabad Declaration," Signing Ceremony Expected in Geneva

Odaily reported that three sources have revealed that the signing ceremony for the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding is most likely to be held in Geneva, Switzerland. U.S. President Trump on Thursday local time announced a "great peace plan" aimed at ending the war with Iran and stated that it would be finalized within days. He indicated that the signing ceremony is expected to take place soon in Europe, with Vice President Vance in attendance. However, Iranian officials have yet to confirm that any agreement has been reached.

Two sources familiar with diplomatic negotiations said that Geneva was chosen as the location for the signing ceremony because it is close to where Trump and the U.S. delegation will attend the G7 summit in France next week. One of the sources noted that the signing ceremony would mark the entry of diplomatic talks into a "second phase," where parties would begin implementing the Memorandum of Understanding.

Several other sources said the memorandum is named the "Islamabad Declaration" to acknowledge Pakistan's crucial role in mediation. However, nothing has been finalized yet. An Iranian source revealed that Austria's capital, Vienna, is also among the alternative locations. (Jinshi)
