TEHRAN – Web Desk: Details of a proposed 14-point Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Iran and the United States have emerged in Iranian and Arab media reports, outlining key provisions including ceasefire, sanctions relief, return of frozen assets, and economic cooperation.
According to reports, the proposed agreement includes an immediate and permanent ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, with the US committing to respect Iran’s sovereignty and non-interference in its internal affairs. The naval blockade would be lifted within 30 days, and the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened to normalize global trade and energy shipments. Sanctions on Iranian oil and petrochemical exports would be suspended, with cooperation on projects worth $300 billion for Iran’s reconstruction and economic recovery.
A 60-day negotiation period would be established for nuclear program and sanctions removal matters, during which the US would not impose new sanctions on Iran. Iran would reaffirm its commitment not to develop nuclear weapons, while $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets would be released in phases.
A special monitoring system would oversee implementation, with final ratification through a UN Security Council resolution. Iran’s missile program and support for regional resistance groups would not be part of the negotiations, with the final agreement focused on uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and economic recovery. Iran has requested the agreement be signed in a European country for international status, with Geneva, Switzerland, being mentioned for next week. Reports also claim a Pakistani legal team may attend the signing, though no official confirmation has been made.
