Iran’s Fars news agency said on Sunday (June 14, 2026) that Tehran has not made a final decision on signing the agreement under discussion with the United States to end the West Asia war. “The Islamic Republic of Iran has not yet taken or announced its final decision concerning the memorandum of understanding proposed during negotiations,” reported Fars, which is close to Iranian conservative circles, citing “a well-informed source close to the Iranian negotiating team”.

U.S. President Donald Trump said that a deal with Iran to end the war in West Asia would be signed on Sunday (June 14, 2026), and that the strategic Strait of Hormuz would be “open to all” immediately after. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said that the date of the signing was yet to be determined, but “it will not be tomorrow”. However, he added, “The possibility of this happening in the coming days cannot be ruled out.”
The warring parties have nonetheless released conflicting information about the contents of the deal, as each seeks to show it emerged from the war with the upper hand.

Meanwhile, dozens protested on Saturday (June 13, 2026) outside a Foreign Ministry office in Iran’s northeastern city of Mashhad, chanting slogans against top diplomat Abbas Araghchi after a televised interview in which he discussed signing the peace deal. In a video shared by Fars news agency, women in black chadors chanted “death to dishonourable Araghchi, the infiltrator” in front of the building, while waving red and black flags. Hardline Iranian figures argue that the deal does not serve Iran’s interests and would deprive Tehran of leverage over the Strait of Hormuz. They also accuse Iranian negotiators of having made too many concessions to secure the deal.
