The United States and Iran are currently discussing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the cessation of hostilities and basic principles of nuclear negotiations, which could mark a new phase in the long-stalled Middle East dynamics. The possibility of an agreement before Trump's visit to China is being cautiously discussed, with expectations of a structure similar to the JCPOA from the Obama administration. Both sides plan to first establish the overall direction through the MOU and then proceed with detailed negotiations.
