Tehran says considering plan for Iran, US presidents to sign deal

Tehran's foreign ministry on Wednesday said it was considering a plan for the presidents of the US and Iran to sign the deal ending the war, ahead of an expected ceremony in Switzerland.

"So far, our plans for the Geneva meeting have not changed," ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said.

"Regarding the signing of the memorandum of understanding, one idea is that it be done by the presidents of the two countries, which is currently under review."

If the presidents were to sign the document, he added, "in principle it would be done remotely."

Tehran has previously said the United States and Iran would be represented at the meeting in Switzerland by Vice President JD Vance and parliament speaker and top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, respectively.
