Details began to emerge on Tuesday of the US and Iran's interim agreement to end the war in the Middle East, with US President Donald Trump saying it will rule out a nuclear weapon for Tehran and a US official ​saying it allows Iran to sell oil upon signing. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) agreed upon this week, though yet to be made public, extends a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days to allow the ‌warring countries to negotiate a permanent truce. The MoU is due to be signed on Friday at Bürgenstock, a mountain resort in central Switzerland, according to the Swiss foreign ministry.
