Axios’ reports that the U.S., Iran, and mediators are discussing moving up the formal signing of the agreement from Friday to as early as Wednesday.
• If signed earlier, provisions related to reopening the Strait of Hormuz could take effect sooner, and the U.S. could release the full text of the MOU.
• Sources said both sides support accelerating the timeline to reopen the Strait sooner, though no final decision had been made as of Wednesday morning.
• Even if the signing date changes, talks between Vice President Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf are still expected to take place in Switzerland on Friday.
