IRANIAN Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that upon finalisation, a draft deal with the United States would be signed “remotely”, which could happen “in the coming days”. “As soon as the final stages of our negotiations are completed, this agreement will be signed and announced. The signing will initially take place digitally.

Each side will sign remotely. After that, it will be announced that this memorandum of understanding has been signed by both parties,” said Araghchi in an interview with state television. “This could happen in the coming days. I am very hopeful.”

Araghchi had earlier said that a framework dubbed the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding” aimed at ending the war with the United States which broke out on 28 February “has never been closer”. On Thursday, US President Donald Trump said he had called off planned strikes on Iran and claimed a deal to end the war could be signed soon.
