A draft 14-point memorandum between the United States and Iran is said to outline the path towards an agreement on nuclear issues, sanctions and regional security. This was reported by Iranian media outlets close to Tehran’s negotiating team, who noted that the text is still being reviewed by the relevant authorities. Subsequently, President Trump stated that the terms of the agreement leaked by Iran do not correspond to those agreed upon.
According to the Iranian news agency Mehr, however, the agreement is said to provide for an immediate ceasefire on various regional fronts, including Lebanon, a commitment by the United States not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs, and the withdrawal of US forces from areas near Iran.
Key points include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under Iranian control, the suspension of sanctions on oil and petrochemicals, and the release of Iranian funds frozen abroad, amounting to $24 billion, half of which would be made available before the start of final negotiations. The draft would also provide for 60 days of talks to reach a final agreement on the nuclear programme and the lifting of US and UN sanctions. Tehran would reaffirm its commitment not to develop nuclear weapons under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
According to reports, Iran’s ballistic missile programme and its support for regional armed groups would be excluded from the negotiations. The plan would also include proposals for the economic reconstruction of Iran, amounting to at least $300 billion, to be provided by the United States and its allies.
According to Iranian media, the final round of negotiations will not begin until some of the oil sanctions have been lifted, maritime trade has resumed and the first tranche of frozen funds has been released.
