WASHINGTON — An agreement aimed at concluding the conflict between the United States and Iran is anticipated to be finalized within the next two days. This arrangement might be executed “remotely” and may not necessitate a formal gathering in Switzerland this Friday, as revealed by a high-ranking US official to The Post.
“There are current discussions about potentially signing the deal remotely, but regardless, we are set to meet on Friday,” the official stated. “We will be delving into the specifics then.”
The Memorandum of Understanding is perceived as a predominantly “political document,” serving as a preliminary phase for dialogue over a 60-day timeline. This period will focus on lifting US-enforced economic sanctions on Tehran, curbing its nuclear pursuits, and creating a reconstruction fund for the Middle Eastern country.

Once the agreement is in place, the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passageway for about 20-25% of the world’s maritime oil transport, will be reopened, and a regional cease-fire will commence.
“We have an understanding of certain things without writing it, and if they don’t honor that, we’ll probably go back to bombing them until they honor it,” Trump said Wednesday.
“You know, it’s amazing what bombs can do,” he added.
