The United States and Iran are in discussions to move up the signing of their memorandum of understanding (MOU) to Wednesday, potentially opening the Strait of Hormuz sooner than the previously scheduled Friday ceremony, according to an Axios report citing a diplomat from one of the mediating countries and a second source familiar with the discussions.
If the signing is brought forward, the MoU would be executed electronically, the Strait of Hormuz provisions would come into force immediately, and the US may release the full text of the agreement on Wednesday itself, the report said.
