US Secretary of State says agreement could be signed as early as Monday, but Iran says key terms remain contentious

Odaily Planet Daily News US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that as negotiations continue, a potential agreement with Iran could still be signed as early as Monday.

However, according to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, citing a source with knowledge of the matter, no final Memorandum of Understanding has been reached between the US and Iran so far, and some clauses remain contentious. Given the US's repeated breaches of trust in past negotiations, Iran holds no optimistic expectations towards the US. Even if an agreement is reached, Iran will closely monitor the US's fulfillment of its commitments. If the US violates its promises, Iran reserves all negotiating leverage for countermeasures.
