Draft Iran-US Memorandum Includes End of War on All Fronts: Reports

Tehran, MINA – A potential memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States includes an end to the war on all fronts, including Israel’s attacks in Lebanon, Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday.

Washington would also commit to waiving sanctions on Iran’s oil during negotiations. If the agreement is reached, the Strait of Hormuz will not fully return to its pre-war status; instead, the number of ships allowed to pass would be restored to pre-war levels within 30 days, according to Tasnim.

Iran emphasizes the enforcement of its sovereign rights over the Strait of Hormuz through various means, the details of which will be announced later. Tehran also insists on at least a partial release of its frozen assets, and a potential deal would include a 60-day negotiation window on Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran calls for the lifting of the US blockade of its ports, arguing that no changes will be made in the strait if the blockade remains in place. Any changes to navigation and transit through the strategic waterway will also depend on the implementation of the US’s other commitments in the memorandum.
