The historic agreement, which was initially announced on Sunday, constitutes the very first formal understanding established between Washington and Tehran since the outbreak of the recent regional war.
The framework outlines a total cessation of military operations between the two sides and paves the way for comprehensive negotiations on long-standing strategic issues, including the future of the Iranian nuclear program.
Following this initial electronic signing, the official physical signing ceremony is expected to take place in Geneva, Switzerland, marking a major turning point for international diplomacy and global trade security.
