The memorandum of understanding includes ending the war, lifting the blockade, opening the Strait of Hormuz, and the departure of American forces from the war zone.

The memorandum of understanding does not include nuclear issues because they are complex and require sufficient time for negotiation.

After 30 days of the signing of the memorandum of understanding, a door to nuclear negotiations could be opened.

It was planned that the Pakistani army chief [Asim Munir] would announce the memorandum of understanding in Tehran, but he left to coordinate with Washington.

The state of Qatar played a key role in drafting the memorandum of understanding, and there was communication between the mediators and Washington.

Our official mediator is Pakistan, and at the same time, other parties such as Qatar are trying to offer assistance," - Esmail Baghaei, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇵🇰⚡- "The 30-60 days framework of the memorandum of understanding begins once both parties sign, not once it has been announced.

We are in dialogue with the relevant authorities. We understand the importance of this waterway for the international community.

The international community knows that insecurity is caused by the aggressive actions of America and the Zionist entity.

The issue of the Strait of Hormuz is one of the topics that will be discussed in the 14-point memorandum of understanding. But more importantly, it is to put an end to American maritime piracy," - Esmail Baghaei, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman.
