Tehran, June 15 (Sputnik/UNI)

Iran has confirmed the completion of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United States; it will be signed in Switzerland on June 19, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said.

"The text of the Memorandum of Understanding has been finalised, and the official signing of the memorandum will take place in Switzerland on Friday," Gharibabadi said live on Iranian state television. The lifting of the US naval blockade against Iran will begin on the night of Monday, he said.

The Iran-US memorandum includes an immediate cessation of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, starting on the night of Monday, Gharibabadi confirmed.

"This memorandum does not signify trust in the enemy. The memorandum was drafted with no confidence in it. We will monitor the actions of the United States, as well as its fulfillment of its obligations," he noted.

Iran will discuss sanctions relief, nuclear issues, and economic recovery with the United States after signing a memorandum on June 19, the deputy foreign minister added.
