Trump says US-Iran MOU to be signed Sunday via virtual ceremony; Iran FM says "within days"

Trump announced on June 13 that the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding would be signed on Sunday (June 14) electronically, with Pakistani and Qatari mediators joining virtually. Iran's FM Araghchi said signing could come "within a few days" but did not confirm Sunday. The MOU would extend the ceasefire 60 days, reopen the Strait of Hormuz without tolls, and launch nuclear-programme negotiations. The US also downed Iranian attack drones near the Strait on June 13 even as deal momentum built.

IRGC formally closes Strait of Hormuz; Iran strikes US bases in Bahrain & Kuwait

Iran's IRGC declared the Strait of Hormuz "closed to all vessels until further notice" on June 11, warning any ship attempting transit "will be targeted." The closure follows CENTCOM's self-defense strikes on Iranian air defense, radar and communications sites after Iran downed a US AH-64 Apache on June 9; Iran retaliated with missile attacks on US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan.

MOU signing proposed for Geneva but Iran signals delay; Vance "going back and forth on language"; Trump says deal to be signed Sunday; Iran FM says not Sunday but "coming days"

Trump publicly stated on June 13–14 that the US-Iran peace deal would be signed on Sunday (June 14) in Geneva, with VP Vance as the US signatory and Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf as the Iranian signatory. Trump wrote that "immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL." However, Iran's Foreign Ministry stated the MOU "won't be signed on Sunday" but could happen "in the coming days," adding it was "still too early to mention the timing and location." Iran's state-affiliated Fars news agency called reports of a finalized June 14 Geneva signing "completely baseless." Vance told reporters they are "going back and forth on a couple of language points" and said it was "hard to say exactly when, or if, the president's going to sign the MOU." The core framework remained consistent: Hormuz to be "unrestricted" with no tolls; Iran removes mines within 30 days; US naval blockade lifted; 60-day ceasefire extension including Lebanon; $24B in frozen Iranian assets released; Iran commits not to pursue nuclear weapons; enriched uranium disposal to be negotiated in 60-day window. US Treasury Secretary Bessent said a deal could come "this weekend or Monday." The MOU had not been signed as of available reporting through end of day June 14. No new US-Iran direct land strikes reported on June 14. CENTCOM continued to escort commercial shipping through Hormuz.

Pakistan declares "final agreed text" reached; Iran FM says MOU signing possible "within few days"; Vance named for Geneva ceremony; CENTCOM downs Iranian drones over Hormuz

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announces that "a final, agreed upon text" of a US-Iran peace deal has been reached and that Pakistan "is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps." Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi says on state television that the MOU signing could happen "within the next few days," will be executed digitally by both sides in their respective countries, and that the deal has "never been closer." The White House names Vice President JD Vance to travel to Geneva on Sunday, June 14, to sign the MOU; four US Air Force C-17 transport aircraft are reported departing for Europe carrying advance delegation equipment and personnel. Bloomberg and Reuters cite a Western source saying Geneva is the likeliest venue, possibly before the G7 summit. Trump states he believes Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has approved the deal; US senior officials say they "believe" Khamenei signed off but are "not certain" — NBC News reports his approval remains the last missing piece. Trump simultaneously posts that Iranian state media's description of the agreement has "NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing," underscoring continued conflicting public accounts. Araghchi clarifies Iran will charge "service fees" — not tolls — for Hormuz navigation, calling them compensation for navigational assistance, search and rescue, and security services; Trump rejects any fees on ships transiting the strait. CENTCOM announces it shot down multiple Iranian one-way attack drones launched in an attempt to strike commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz; US forces state the strait remains open for transit. No new confirmed US or Iranian strikes on land targets reported on June 13. The MOU has not been signed as of end of day June 13.

Pakistan PM declares "final, agreed upon text" of MOU reached; Vance says "still TBD"; Geneva signing proposed for June 14

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on June 12–13 that "a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached" between the US and Iran, with the agreement being referred to as the "Islamabad MOU" in recognition of Pakistan's mediation role. The Trump administration named VP Vance as the signatory and confirmed Geneva as the venue for a proposed June 14 signing ceremony, with four US Air Force C-17s departing to Europe to prepare logistics. However, Vance publicly described the signing timing as "still TBD," and Iran's Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson said Iran is in "final stages of internal deliberations" and could not confirm where or when a signing would occur. Iran's FM Araghchi stated the deal "has never been closer" but urged caution on media speculation "pending its finalisation." The MOU framework calls for: Hormuz to reopen immediately without tolls; a 60-day ceasefire extension (including Lebanon) during which nuclear negotiations would be held; Iran to receive sanctions relief based on compliance; and Iran to commit not to obtain a nuclear weapon. The MOU was not signed as of June 13. No new official Pentagon, DoD, or CSIS cost figures were released; the $29B figure (Pentagon comptroller Hurst, May 12) remains the latest official cumulative cost. Pending any signed deal and subsequent DoD assessment, the $95M/day ceasefire-standby rate in COST_PHASES remains in effect.

Pakistan PM declares US-Iran deal text "final"; Vance says "still TBD"; US downs 2 Iranian drones near Hormuz

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on June 12 that "a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached" between the US and Iran, saying "peace has never been this close." Pakistan stated it was working with both sides to finalize next steps toward a signing ceremony. Hours later, US Vice President JD Vance told CBS News that whether Trump would endorse the agreement was "obviously, still TBD," creating a public discrepancy between the Pakistani and US positions. Trump told reporters he believed Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei had already signed off; US Treasury Secretary Bessent said a deal could come "as soon as this weekend or Monday." Iranian FM Araghchi said Iran was taking "service fees" for Hormuz transit and that the strait would not simply return to its prewar status — conflicting with US accounts. Separately, early June 12, Iranian forces fired on a tanker attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz; the US military shot down two Iranian attack drones defending the vessel. Lebanon saw only minor activity on June 12: one person injured in an Israeli air raid on al-Bayyad village (Tyre district) per Al Jazeera; Lebanese MoH toll held at 3,711 killed / 11,483 wounded (up from 11,413). No new confirmed US KIA. (ABC News / NBC News live blog Jun 12 / RFE/RL Jun 12 / Washington Post Jun 12 / CBS News / Washington Times Jun 12)

IRGC declares Hormuz "closed to all vessels"; two ships targeted; ceasefire effectively collapsed

Iran's IRGC announces via official Telegram: "Effective immediately, due to insecurity in the region, the Strait of Hormuz is declared closed to all vessels, including oil tankers and commercial ships. Any vessel attempting to transit the strait will be targeted." The IRGC Navy reports striking two vessels it describes as attempting to "illegally" transit the strait. The declaration marks the most sweeping Hormuz closure of the conflict — extending explicitly to oil tankers and all commercial shipping. CENTCOM completes a fresh wave of self-defense strikes on June 11 targeting Iranian military surveillance facilities, communications systems, air defense sites, ammunition depots, command-and-control nodes, and warehouses — assets from the US Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy fired precision munitions. CENTCOM states the targets "posed a threat to U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters." The IRGC separately claims to have destroyed 18 military targets at American air bases in the Middle East — CENTCOM does not confirm. The ceasefire that took effect April 8 is widely described as effectively collapsed following three consecutive days of mutual strikes. No active mediator-led negotiations reported.

Trump cancels strikes, claims "great settlement" reached with Iran; Iran denies final decision made

Following three days of escalating mutual strikes, Trump posts on Truth Social that he has "cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening." He claims "discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others." From the Oval Office, Trump states "We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran, subject to finalization of documents — should get done in the next few days." Trump says he anticipated a signing ceremony "maybe in Europe" attended by Vice President JD Vance and negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The deal framework envisions: Hormuz "officially open" with no tolls; US naval blockade lifted; Iran to remove mines within 30 days; Iran commits not to obtain a nuclear weapon; first issues to be negotiated during a 60-day window include disposal of Iran's highly enriched uranium and future enrichment. Markets immediately surged and oil prices fell on the announcement. However, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei stated: "Iran has not reached a final decision regarding any agreement." An IRGC-affiliated news agency dismissed reports of a deal as "merely speculation." Israeli PM Netanyahu stated Israel is "not a party" to the emerging memorandum of understanding but said Trump gave assurances the final agreement will include removal of enriched material, dismantling of enrichment infrastructure, limits on missiles, and end to proxy support.

No new official Pentagon, CBO, or CSIS cost figures were released for this period. The $29B Pentagon comptroller figure (May 12) remains the most recent official cumulative cost; no supplemental request has been submitted to Congress. Active strikes were conducted June 9–11, but the phase rate implications await official DoD release.

Iran closes Strait of Hormuz to all vessels; US launches fresh strikes on southern Iran

Following continued US retaliatory strikes, Iran's IRGC joint military command declared the full closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessel traffic — oil tankers, commercial ships, and others — effective June 11, threatening to fire on any ship attempting transit. Explosions were reported in Sirik, Minab, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, and Gorgan in southern Iran as US CENTCOM conducted additional self-defence strikes. The US sent the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit to the region to support efforts to keep the strait open. No new confirmed US KIA or US WIA announced by CENTCOM as of Jun 11. Lebanese MoH did not publish a new cumulative toll for Jun 11 in available sources; Human Rights Watch report Jun 11 cites 3,711 killed in Lebanon since March 2.

IRGC strikes US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan; Hegseth: "negotiate with bombs"; second night of US strikes on Iran

Iran's IRGC retaliates with drone and ballistic missile attacks on: Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain (US Fifth Fleet); Ali Al-Salem and Ahmad Al-Jaber Air Bases in Kuwait; and Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan (12 ballistic missiles aimed at F-35 hangars and command-and-control). The IRGC claims to have "attacked 21 US targets and destroyed four, including an F-35 hangar in Jordan." Host countries report all incoming projectiles intercepted without casualties; CENTCOM does not confirm any US base damage. Defense Secretary Hegseth announces additional strikes from Tampa: "CENTCOM will be busy tonight because President Trump said we will be hitting Iran hard. If we need to negotiate with bombs, we'll negotiate with bombs." CENTCOM announces "additional self-defense strikes" at 17:15 ET June 10, targeting military surveillance, communications, and air defense sites across Iran including Karaj, Abyek, Qeshm, Kish, Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Minab, Isfahan, and Kargan (2 wounded reported near Kargan) — Trump confirms 49 Tomahawk missiles used, some striking within 40 miles of Tehran. Trump threatens strikes on Iranian power plants and bridges if talks remain stalled and tells Fox News' Trey Yingst that top Iranian officials contacted him asking the bombing to stop — Iran's IRIB calls the claim "a pure lie." Trump warns: "We'll bomb the s*** out of them tomorrow night" if no deal is reached. Separately, a Qatari delegation travels to Tehran on June 10 "after consulting with the US" to bridge remaining gaps in negotiations; Iran's FM spokesman Baghaei says the impact of military clashes on talks "would have to be evaluated."

IAEA Board passes resolution 21-3-10 demanding Iran declare uranium stockpiles and grant inspectors access

The IAEA's 35-nation Board of Governors adopts a resolution on June 10, 2026, with 21 votes in favor, 3 against (Russia, China, Niger), and 10 abstentions, calling on Iran to provide detailed information about its enriched uranium stockpiles and grant inspectors the access required to verify those materials. The resolution "deeply regrets Iran's continued failure to remedy its non-compliance over the past 12 months," including failure to provide information and access required for verification. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi reported the agency has been unable for nearly a year to verify previously declared stocks of highly enriched uranium (HEU) and low-enriched uranium (LEU) — a 97-day monitoring blackout with zero inspector access to any nuclear facility. Iran rebuffed the resolution and vowed to defend its "inalienable rights." The resolution added diplomatic pressure to the parallel US-Iran MOU negotiations, where disposal of Iran's ~440 kg of 60%-enriched uranium remains a core sticking point.

Iran's IRGC launched retaliatory strikes against US forces in Bahrain (Fifth Fleet HQ), Ali Al Salem airbase in Kuwait, and Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan (housing F-35s) after the US strikes over the downed Apache. The US launched a second round of attacks on "multiple targets in Iran" on June 10, with Hegseth defending the escalation: "If we need to negotiate with bombs, we'll negotiate with bombs." US strikes also hit two water storage reservoirs in Sirik County (Hormozgan Province), supplying drinking water to ~20,000 residents — Iran called it a war crime. Iran declared complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels. No new official Pentagon cost figures were released; Rep.

Iranian Shahed drone downs US Apache over Hormuz; CENTCOM launches retaliatory strikes on Qeshm, Sirik, Jask, Bandar Abbas

A US Army AH-64 Apache helicopter is downed near the Strait of Hormuz after colliding with an Iranian Shahed drone during a patrol — the first Apache lost in the conflict. Both pilots are rescued uninjured within two hours by a US Navy Corsair uncrewed surface vessel (Task Force 59). Whether the collision was intentional is under investigation. President Trump announces on Truth Social that Iran "shot down" the helicopter and vows retaliation. CENTCOM launches "self-defense strikes" between 22:00 GMT June 9 and 01:00 GMT June 10, striking Iranian air defense sites, ground control stations, and surveillance radar facilities at Qeshm Island, Sirik, Jask, and Bandar Abbas. Iranian FM Araghchi warns "foreign military forces near Iranian territory are at constant risk" and promises retaliation. Trump says Iran "took too long to negotiate a deal" and would "pay the price." Brent crude rises sharply on the escalation.
