Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. Somebody's going to have to build all that infrastructure ... You know, they're talking about a trillion dollars, probably more. And you know that's why we'll probably get involved in rebuilding, right, helping them rebuild.
2. If people are stupid, we'll end up in something where we have to wipe out an entire infrastructure of a nation, and I don't think that's a good thing, because somebody's going to have to rebuild it.
3. The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had ... Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn't, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!
Abbas Araqchi
Iranian Foreign Ministry
1. Iran is the winner of the war with the US.
Esmaeil Baqaeil
Iranian Foreign Ministry
1. The Islamabad memorandum, which is being pursued, focuses on ending the war, and at this stage, it has been decided that there will be no discussion about the nuclear issue.
2. We will have to wait and see about the exact date of the signing of the memorandum of understanding, although it will not be tomorrow.
3. The possibility of this happening in the coming days cannot be ruled out.
Shahbaz Sharif
Pakistan Muslim League party
1. We are closer to a peace deal than ever before ... We are confident that this historic peace deal will form a strong foundation for lasting peace.
2. With finalization likely expected in the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal immediately after, followed by technical level talks next week.
IRNA News Agency
1. Iran makes no commitment … to cede the management of the strait or the restoration of conditions that existed prior to the American and Israeli military aggression.
2. Iran's right to enrich uranium and the retention of enriched material... will be emphasised with a view to their inclusion in the final agreement.

1. In short, now we know that the MoU is just the first step, and the sticking points will be discussed in the 60 days after it has been signed.
2. The Iranians are also talking about levying fees in the Strait of Hormuz and the unfreezing of assets and so on.
3. President Trump is talking about the nuclear issue alongside the MoU, even though we have been told that is something that is going to be dealt with in the 60-day negotiations period.
4. So there is a level of ambiguity here and not just around timing but also the content.
5. Over the past few days, there were reports of preparations in Switzerland for a physical signing ceremony, but there has been no talk about that any more. The Pakistanis are now describing it as an electronic signing while the Iranians are not even confirming that for tomorrow.

1. All of these issues contain a universe of complexity and detail that will have to be ironed out.
2. What you've done is buy yourself a ticket, on both sides, to a negotiation that is going to be long and tedious.
