Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, is set to publish a message to the Iranian public regarding the memorandum of understanding signed between the US and Iran to end hostilities. It will be his first direct public statement on the agreement, and it carries enormous weight for markets, diplomacy, and the future of the Middle East.
The MoU, electronically signed by US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian around mid-June 2026, lays out a 14-point framework designed to halt a conflict that has been grinding on since February. Khamenei has tacitly supported the deal behind the scenes but hasn’t said a word about it publicly.
What the deal actually includes
The 14-point plan includes an immediate halt to military operations, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles roughly 20% of global oil transit, the lifting of US naval blockades, and the unfreezing of approximately $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets.
The agreement also carves out a 60-day window for further negotiations focused on Iran’s nuclear program and other unresolved issues.
