US-Iran agreement will be signed online, Strait of Hormuz to open immediately after signing

Odaily Odaily News According to CCTV News, U.S. President Donald Trump said on June 13 local time that the United States and Iran will sign an agreement on the 14th, and the Strait of Hormuz will open immediately after the signing. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the 13th, saying that Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar had a phone call with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan that same day. The electronic signing ceremony for the related agreement between the United States and Iran is scheduled for the 14th. However, Iran stated that the specific signing time for the memorandum is still pending.

Behind-the-scenes sources said that U.S. officials and multilateral mediators have confirmed that the signing will take place online, mainly due to logistical and scheduling coordination considerations. One key reason is related to a scheduling conflict for Vice President Vance, who leads the U.S. negotiating team. Although Vance led the negotiations, attending an in-person signing ceremony would prevent him from returning to the U.S. before Trump departs for France on the 14th to attend the G7 summit. Therefore, to ensure a smooth transition for the core U.S. itinerary, all parties ultimately decided to adopt an online signing format. (Red Star News)
