US President Donald Trump has announced that an agreement with Iran is imminent, with negotiations scheduled to begin on Monday, August 4th, 2026. This development follows the cancellation of planned strikes.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has urged the United States to "remain committed" to the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the two countries in June 2026. Pezeshkian emphasized that the interim deal "will be the centre of gravity" of Tehran's foreign relations moving forward.

These statements signal a potential thaw in US-Iran relations and a focus on diplomatic engagement after recent tensions.
