Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf will lead the Iranian delegation to sign a peace agreement with the United States in Geneva, Switzerland on Friday. U.S. Vice President JD Vance will head the American side.
The planned signing follows weeks of negotiations mediated by Pakistan resulting in a preliminary understanding. The emerging U.S.-Iran deal is expected to focus on maintaining a ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and launching further negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions relief.
