Diplomatic correspondent Amichai Stein of i24NEWS reports that a published draft of the emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU) includes a cessation of hostilities in Lebanon and a $300 billion reconstruction plan. According to the text Stein cites, the US would lift its naval blockade on Iran and withdraw forces from areas around Iran within 30 days, while committing — along with 'regional partners' — to the reconstruction fund. All UN and IAEA sanctions and resolutions would be removed. Iran pledges never to produce nuclear weapons; the enriched uranium issue is to be resolved in the final accord. The US would authorize Iranian oil exports and release all frozen Iranian funds. The draft has not been independently verified or confirmed by US or Israeli officials. As The Zioneer reported at 20:09, the Saudi network Al-Arabiya earlier published what it said was the full leaked MOU text with similar terms. Stein's report is the second corroborating account from a recognized news outlet, though both still rely on a single unpublished document. The operational status of the ceasefire in Lebanon or any timeline for implementation remains unconfirmed. No official Israeli or American statement has been issued.
