Bürgenstock deal: US and Iran agree to sign framework in Switzerland on Friday

Bürgenstock will host a signed US-Iran memorandum on Friday, not a treaty. The ceasefire is real; the nuclear, sanctions, and security questions are deferred to a follow-on round that Iran briefly delayed over strikes in southern Lebanon.

Desk note: Monexus led with the verified venue, date and host of the signing, and resisted speculation on the agreement's text, which was not public on deadline. We treated the framework as a memorandum and a process, not a treaty, and flagged the parallel regional clocks (Gaza, Lebanon, Hormuz, Israeli elections) that the signing does not pause.
