Blue House: Signs point to US-Iran ceasefire agreement

South Korea's presidential office indicated on June 13 that the United States and Iran are showing signs of moving toward a ceasefire agreement. A senior official from the Blue House, speaking at a press briefing in Rome, stated that while detailed information is scarce, "circumstances are felt that both sides are moving toward a ceasefire."

The official elaborated that the two nations are in the process of coordinating the text of a memorandum of understanding (MOU), which appears to encompass issues such as Iran's nuclear program, the processing of enriched uranium, and matters related to the Strait of Hormuz. This statement comes in the wake of a White House announcement on June 12 (local time) that Iran had tentatively agreed to an MOU with the U.S.

“

We are feeling circumstances that both sides are moving toward a ceasefire.

According to a senior White House official, the tentative agreement includes Iran's commitment to dismantle its nuclear program, dispose of nuclear material, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The official also mentioned that a signing ceremony is expected to take place within days at a suitable location, possibly in Europe. The Blue House's assessment suggests a positive development in de-escalating tensions between the two countries.

We do not have sophisticated information, but we are hearing through media reports and surrounding corroborating evidence that there are trends toward a ceasefire agreement.
