Official Digital Signing: Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed that the presidents of Iran and the United States have officially signed the "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding" digitally. He noted that this raises the cost of violating the agreement, adding that no signing ceremony will be held in Geneva.

The Lebanon File as a Priority: Baghaei stressed that the immediate priority at this stage was ending the war, pointing out that Lebanon’s name was mentioned three times in the very first clause to emphasize the ceasefire and respect for its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Commencement of Obligations: He explained that following urgent negotiations, the US has already begun lifting its naval blockade, allowing Iranian vessels to enter and leave ports. Meanwhile, Iran's commitments will begin immediately after the signing. He also noted Washington's commitment to withdraw its forces from Iran's proximity within 30 days of the final deal.

Timeline for Nuclear Negotiations: Baghaei mentioned that the nuclear file and the lifting of sanctions have been deferred to an exclusive round of negotiations. These will launch immediately and last for a maximum of 60 days (extendable) to reach a final agreement.

Defensive Red Lines: Baghaei firmly asserted that Iran's defensive and missile capabilities are entirely outside any negotiating track and will not be discussed with any party, stating: "These missiles were made to be fired, not negotiated over."

Management of the Strait of Hormuz: He revealed that mechanisms and arrangements for managing the Strait of Hormuz have been largely finalized with the Sultanate of Oman following long-standing consultations. He emphasized that Iran will charge fees for services in the strait, and that safe transit will be maintained under full Iranian sovereignty.
