🇮🇷🇺🇸 Mehr News Agency reports the full details of the 14-article draft U.S.-Iran MoU: - Immediate and permanent ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon - Lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days - U.S. withdrawal of forces from areas surrounding Iran. - Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under Iranian arrangements - Suspension of oil and petrochemical sanctions - The U.S. and its allies would present a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iran - Release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian funds over 60 days, with half available before negotiations begin - Final negotiations on nuclear issues and full sanctions removal will last 60 days. - The final agreement will be endorsed by a UN Security Council resolution - Discussions on Iran’s missile program and support for resistance groups are completely off the table - U.S. commitment not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs. This draft MoU is quite favorable to Iran. Tehran would keep control of the Strait of Hormuz, maintain its missile program and support for proxy groups (Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.), and receive massive economic relief ($24B immediately + $300B reconstruction plan). In return, Iran would hand over enriched uranium, limit long-term enrichment, and commit to no nuclear weapons. If signed, it would effectively end the current war (at least temporarily), give Iran major economic breathing room, and represent a significant diplomatic victory for Tehran while leaving several core issues unresolved for the future.
