Iran’s Fars news agency reported on Sunday that Tehran has not yet made a final decision on signing the agreement under discussion with the United States to end the Middle East war. The semi-official agency, which is close to Iranian conservative circles, cited a well-informed source close to the Iranian negotiating team.
No Final Decision Announced
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has not yet taken or announced its final decision concerning the memorandum of understanding proposed during negotiations,” Fars reported. The statement comes amid ongoing talks between U.S. and Iranian officials, with both sides reportedly working toward a comprehensive agreement to de-escalate tensions.
Hard-Line Opposition
The prospective agreement has faced opposition from hard-line Iranian figures, who argue that it does not serve Iran’s interests and would deprive Tehran of leverage over the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Critics within Iran claim the deal could weaken Iran’s position in the region and limit its ability to influence global oil shipments through the vital waterway.
Despite the opposition, the Iranian government has not ruled out the possibility of signing the agreement. The source emphasized that discussions are still ongoing and that Tehran will announce its final decision once all aspects of the memorandum have been thoroughly reviewed.
The development comes as the United States and Pakistan have announced an expected signing of an agreement to end the U.S.-Iran conflict, though Tehran’s stance remains uncertain. The situation continues to evolve, with international observers closely monitoring the negotiations.
