A draft US-Iran memorandum of understanding covering nuclear curbs, sanctions relief and the Strait of Hormuz will not be signed in Tehran today, despite repeated claims by US President Donald Trump that a deal would be finalised on Sunday, Iranian officials said. A Qatari delegation led by a foreign ministry adviser arrived in the Iranian capital on Sunday morning to push the talks forward, but Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told reporters that “signing a memorandum of understanding with the United States will not take place tomorrow,” adding that technical and political reviews were still under way .

The draft text, described by an Iranian senior official to Reuters, commits Tehran not to seek nuclear weapons and outlines a 60-day window after signature to agree detailed implementation steps, including the fate of Iran’s existing stockpile of enriched uranium . The memorandum also envisages immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping and US waivers on oil sanctions, according to multiple regional outlets citing the same source . Iranian media reported that up to $25 billion in frozen assets could be unlocked under the framework, though no figure has been confirmed by Washington .

Trump, speaking on Saturday, had insisted the accord would be signed on Sunday and promised the strait would reopen “immediately” afterwards, while Pakistan had earlier predicted a breakthrough within days . Yet Iranian officials have consistently pushed back against the Sunday timetable. Baghaei’s statement, issued late on Saturday, underscores the gap between Washington’s public schedule and Tehran’s internal deliberations .

The ongoing talks are being mediated by Pakistan, which brokered a ceasefire between Iran and regional adversaries that took effect on 8 April, and are now being supported by a Qatari delegation in Tehran . Analysts caution that while the memorandum’s broad contours appear settled, the sequencing of sanctions relief, nuclear concessions and maritime security guarantees remains finely balanced and subject to last-minute adjustments.
