Dubai (HRNW)- Arab media outlet Al Arabiya English has claimed to have obtained a copy of a proposed memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, outlining key provisions related to a ceasefire, sanctions relief, restoration of maritime trade, and a major economic recovery plan for Iran.
According to the reported document, the United States, Iran, and their respective allies would declare an immediate and permanent ceasefire covering Iran, Lebanon, and other related fronts upon the signing of the agreement. Both sides would also commit to refraining from military action, threats, or the use of force against one another in the future.
The proposed memorandum reportedly includes mutual recognition of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and non-interference in internal affairs. It further states that Washington and Tehran would seek to negotiate a comprehensive final agreement within 60 days, with the possibility of extending the deadline through mutual consent.
According to the document, the United States would immediately lift its naval blockade on Iran following the signing of the agreement. It also proposes restoring commercial activity through the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding sea lanes to pre-conflict levels within 30 days. Additionally, the US would be expected to reduce or remove its military presence in nearby areas within 30 days after a final agreement is reached.
The memorandum reportedly requires Iran to restore normal commercial shipping routes between the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman and to remove technical obstacles to navigation, including maritime mines and other hazards.
A major economic component of the proposed agreement includes a framework for at least $300 billion in financial assistance and investment for Iran’s economic recovery and reconstruction. According to the document, the details of this initiative would be finalized within 60 days of a comprehensive agreement.
The proposed memorandum also outlines a phased lifting of United Nations, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and unilateral US sanctions. During the transition period, special exemptions and permits would reportedly be granted for Iranian crude oil exports, petrochemical products, banking, insurance, and shipping activities.
Regarding the nuclear issue, Iran would reaffirm its commitment not to develop nuclear weapons. However, decisions concerning enriched uranium stockpiles and other sensitive nuclear matters would be deferred to future comprehensive negotiations.
The document further states that throughout the negotiation process, Iran would maintain the current status of its nuclear program, while the United States would refrain from imposing new sanctions or increasing its military presence in the region.
Neither Washington nor Tehran has officially confirmed the authenticity of the reported document. However, the claims have generated significant international interest due to the potential implications for regional security, global energy markets, and diplomatic relations.
