The United States and Iran digitally signed and released a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at ending the four-month-long conflict between the two countries on Wednesday. Media outlets in both countries have published the 14-point text of the agreement. Both sides are set to send delegates to Switzerland for a ceremonial signing on Friday.

Both US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian have digitally signed the memorandum. Pakistan, which mediated months of indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran, welcomed the agreement as a diplomatic breakthrough. The country's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the memorandum takes immediate effect and congratulated both countries for choosing dialogue over confrontation. Iranian officials likewise described the agreement as already in force, while emphasizing that negotiations on a permanent settlement should begin without delay.
