In detail the text of the Agreement
The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran agreed, according to the draft MOU, on a 14-point framework aimed at ending the conflict, restoring economic relations and forming a new security framework in the region.
In the first paragraph, the two countries, as well as their allies in the current war, declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. At the same time, they commit themselves not to start a war or military operation against each other, to refrain from threatening or using violence and to ensure Lebanon's territorial integrity and sovereignty. The final agreement will confirm these forecasts permanently.
The second Article provides for mutual respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the two States, as well as a commitment not to intervene in the internal affairs of the other Party.
In the third article, the two parties undertake to negotiate and reach a final agreement within 60 days, with the possibility of extending only by consensus.
The fourth article provides that immediately after signing the memorandum the United States will begin the gradual lifting of naval blockade and any other restrictions against Iran, with their complete abolition within 30 days. During this time, maritime traffic will gradually return to the levels that existed before the war. In addition, the US commits to remove its forces from the proximity of the Islamic Republic of Iran within 30 days of reaching the final agreement.
According to the fifth article, Iran will make every effort to ensure the safe and free passage of commercial ships between the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea for a period of 60 days. Commercial navigation will begin immediately, while its complete restoration will be completed within 30 days, taking into account the needs of demining and removing technical and military obstacles. At the same time, Tehran will launch a dialogue with Oman and the rest of the Gulf coastal states to form a future administrative and maritime service regime in the Straits of Hormuz, in accordance with international law.
The sixth article provides that the United States, in collaboration with regional partners, will develop a funding plan of at least $300 billion for Iran's reconstruction and economic development. The implementation mechanism for the project will be finalised under the final agreement within 60 days, while the US side commits to issuing all necessary authorisations and approvals for the financial transactions concerned.
In the seventh article, the United States undertakes to abolish all forms of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran. This commitment includes UN Security Council resolutions, International Atomic Energy Agency Board decisions, and all unilateral primary and secondary American sanctions. The timetable for implementation will be set in the framework of the final agreement.
The eighth article concerns Iran's nuclear programme. Tehran reaffirms that it will not acquire or develop nuclear weapons. The two countries also agree to jointly determine how to manage stocks of enriched nuclear material. A minimum method is provided for the dilution of on-site material under the supervision of the IAEA. At the same time, the two sides will discuss the issue of uranium enrichment and other issues related to Iran's nuclear needs, within an acceptable framework to be set out in the final agreement.
The ninth article provides that until the conclusion of the final agreement the two countries will maintain the existing status. Iran will maintain the current level of its nuclear programme, while the United States will not impose new sanctions or develop additional military forces in the region.
According to the tenth article, immediately after the signing of the memorandum and until the procedure for lifting sanctions is completed, the US Treasury will issue exemptions allowing exports of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products and their derivatives, as well as all relevant services, including banking transactions, insurance and transport.
The eleventh article provides that the United States will make available for use Iran's frozen or limited funds and assets immediately after the implementation of the memorandum. The procedures for the release of funds will be agreed during the negotiations. These amounts can be fully used by the final beneficiaries appointed by the Central Bank of Iran, while the American side undertakes to issue all necessary authorisations and authorisations.
The twelfth Article provides for the establishment of an implementing mechanism for monitoring the implementation of the Memorandum and the compliance of both sides with the Final Agreement.
According to the thirteenth article, negotiations on the final agreement will begin after the memorandum has been signed and provided that the articles on ending hostilities, lifting the naval blockade, operating the Straits of Hormuz, oil exports and the release of Iranian funds have begun.
Finally, the fourteenth article provides that the final agreement will be ratified through a binding resolution of the United Nations Security Council, giving it international legal power.
