Milan, 6 May (LaPresse) – The White House believes it is close to reaching an agreement with Iran on a one-page, 14-point memorandum of understanding to end the conflict and establish a framework for more in-depth nuclear negotiations. This is reported by Axios, which cites two US officials and two other sources familiar with the matter. The US expects responses from Iran on several key points within the next 48 hours. Nothing has been agreed yet, but the sources said this is the closest the parties have come to an agreement since the start of the war. The White House believes that the Iranian leadership is divided and that it may be difficult to reach a consensus among the various factions. Some US officials remain sceptical that even an initial agreement can be reached. The memorandum of understanding is reportedly being negotiated between Trump’s envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and several Iranian officials, both directly and through mediators.
