Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the White House have confirmed that the signing of the MoU has been completed through digital means. According to Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Ismail Baghai, since the signing has been done digitally, no formal signing ceremony will be held in Geneva, Switzerland. However, the program for the negotiation teams of both sides to meet in Geneva on Friday remains as scheduled.

According to White House officials, a proposal has been made to establish a fund of 300 billion US dollars for the reconstruction of Iran's infrastructure and economic revival. This amount will mainly be provided as investment by Iran's neighboring and regional partner nations. Iran has also indicated that investments worth 300 billion dollars will be received from regional partners.

The Iranian side has also stated that a mechanism for the release of frozen national assets has been finalized. Baghai stated that Iran must ensure full access to and rights to use its assets.

The missile and defense program of Iran is not included in the agreement. Baghai clarified that Iran's defense capability will not be a subject of any negotiation.

Meanwhile, Trump has warned that strict military action may be taken if Iran does not comply with the terms of the MoU. However, both sides have indicated that they will move forward with the diplomatic process, prioritizing the end of the war and regional stability.
