Is a US-Iran Ceasefire Agreement Imminent? Qatari Delegation Heads to Tehran

Iran Begins Final Review of Ceasefire MOU

As speculation grows that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to end the war between the United States and Iran is imminent, Iran is continuing its final review process before making a decision.

On June 14 (local time), Iran's state-run Fars News Agency, citing sources close to the ceasefire negotiation team, reported, "Iran has not yet made public its final position on the proposed memorandum of understanding," adding, "Political, legal, and technical reviews of the draft are still ongoing," according to Yonhap News Agency.

The sources stated that working-level experts and decision-makers are currently reviewing the details and potential impact of the proposal, and that relevant ministries and agencies are carefully assessing the political, legal, and technical implications.

Meanwhile, the Qatari delegation mediating the ceasefire talks arrived in Tehran, the capital of Iran, on this day. According to major international and local media outlets, the Qatari side is expected to help coordinate last-minute differences between the United States and Iran.

The United States and Pakistan, the mediating country, have expressed hope that a "Framework Agreement" to end the war between the two countries, which has lasted for more than three months, could be officially signed within the day.

However, there is ongoing opposition within Iran, particularly among hardliners. Hardline protesters are raising their voices against the signing of the agreement. The Iranian government is also maintaining a cautious stance regarding the timing of the signing.
