US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is not a final agreement, adding that it “creates the construct and outlines for a negotiation”.

“There’s no doubt that as part of that negotiation, specific terms like years and limits will be discussed, and that includes the mechanisms by which it’s verified and enforced,” he replies to a reporter asking if the MoU discusses for how many years Iran cannot develop nuclear weapons.
