The U.S. and Iran on Wednesday remotely signed a 60-day memorandum of understanding ending their conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, two days ahead of schedule, two U.S. officials told Axios.

The signing had been scheduled for Friday in Geneva, but a diplomat from a mediating country and a second source familiar with the talks told Axios earlier Wednesday that discussions had taken place about signing and implementing the agreement sooner.

A senior administration official told reporters that the deal was signed electronically Sunday by President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf.

A White House official separately told Reuters that Trump signed the MOU. Iran's state-run Tasnim News Agency reported that Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baqaei said the presidents of the two countries signed it.

"As I speak to you, the text of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has probably been signed by the presidents of Iran and the United States," Baqaei said.

Trump signed the document electronically while attending a dinner in France with French President Emmanuel Macron, Axios reported. Trump was in France for the G7 summit.

The diplomatic source told Axios the discussions about accelerating the timetable were intended to open the strait sooner than Friday, as both parties agreed on that issue.

Another factor may have been political pressure on the White House to release the text of the MOU. The source familiar with the discussions said Iran demanded that the text not be published until the formal signing. The source also denied the White House was responding to political pressure.

A senior administration official read the agreement to reporters in a briefing call Wednesday, after days of confusion about what was in it.

The meeting between U.S. and Iranian delegations headed by Vance and Ghalibaf is still expected to take place as planned Friday in Switzerland, the sources told Axios.

They are expected to discuss launching negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.
