US-Israel-Iran Live Updates: A proposed US-Iran agreement moved closer to reality after Tehran indicated that Presidents Donald Trump and Masoud Pezeshkian could personally sign the accord expected to be formalised in Switzerland on Friday. The development came as senior US officials disclosed details of the 14-point memorandum of understanding after days of secrecy surrounding the negotiations. In Tehran, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said a presidential signing ceremony remained "on the table", while officials in Washington stressed that the agreement was still preliminary and that either side could walk away before a final deal is reached. Speaking at the close of the G7 summit in France, Trump defended the accord, saying it had helped avert a wider economic crisis triggered by the conflict that erupted after US and Israeli strikes on Iran in February. He pointed to increased maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and easing oil prices as signs of stabilisation, but warned that military action could resume if Tehran failed to honour its commitments. Under the framework, a 60-day negotiation period would begin after signing. The proposal includes limited sanctions relief, toll-free passage through the Strait of Hormuz and a commitment by Iran to dilute part of its highly enriched uranium stockpile.
