The UAE minister stressed the importance of continued dialogue and diplomatic approaches, expressing hope that the current diplomatic process would lead to constructive outcomes for regional peace, security, and stability.

Araghchi also held a phone call with UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, briefing her on the latest negotiations, progress made in implementing agreements, and ongoing consultations.

Both sides reviewed bilateral and regional developments and emphasized continued diplomatic consultations to support regional stability, advance the negotiation process, and achieve positive and lasting results.

In a conversation with Romanian Foreign Minister Ana Tuyo, Araghchi elaborated on the latest developments regarding the implementation of the memorandum of understanding and Iran’s perspectives on the matter.

The Romanian minister welcomed ongoing diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions in West Asia and stressed the importance of continuing this process and implementing mutual commitments by relevant parties.

Both sides emphasized the need for continued consultations and the development of bilateral cooperation in the period ahead.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump formally signed a 14-point Islamabad memorandum of understanding (MoU) on June 18, with the text finalized and the agreement officially in effect, following months of intensive negotiations mediated by Pakistan, with support from other regional countries.

Under the MoU, the two sides have entered a 60-day negotiation period, with the goal of reaching a comprehensive final agreement.

The MoU calls for a permanent end to hostilities across all fronts, including Lebanon, phased lifting of US sanctions, removal of the naval blockade on Iran, and restoration of commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days.
