Amit Segal (N12) posted the complete 14-article text of the US-Iran MOU. The document commits the U.S. to granting Iran immediate oil-export licenses, releasing all frozen assets, maintaining the nuclear status quo, and lifting sanctions, while Iran agrees to keep its nuclear program at current levels; both sides agree to negotiate a final agreement within 60 days and establish an implementation mechanism.
At 20:26 Jerusalem on Wednesday, Channel 12's Amit Segal posted the full 14-article text of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, matching the document that The Zioneer first published at 12:58 Jerusalem after a White House official provided it to reporters. Segal's publication is the latest in a sequence that began at 12:48 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer reported the full text via Al Arabiya; the desk then published an article at 12:58 Jerusalem with the same 14-article text, followed by a bulletin at 20:22 Jerusalem.
At 12:48 Jerusalem, The Times of Israel also published the text citing the same White House official, reporting that the sides declare an 'immediate, permanent end to war on all fronts, including Lebanon.' The desk's 12:58 article added that the document commits the US to lifting the naval blockade within 30 days, orchestrating a $300 billion reconstruction program for Iran, and maintaining the nuclear status quo while Iran pledges never to develop nuclear weapons; both sides agree to negotiate a final agreement within 60 days. The bulletin at 20:22 Jerusalem confirmed all 14 clauses.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, the MOU's disclosure follows days of signals from Washington and Tehran. An Iranian analysis published at 00:08 Jerusalem Wednesday noted that nearly all practical commitments in the emerging MOU fall on the American side, while a senior US official told Israel Hayom on Saturday that the deal includes the destruction and removal of all enriched nuclear material — a detail absent from the current text, which leaves the fate of the enriched uranium stockpile to a second-stage deal.
What remains open: the published text does not specify the fate of Iran's existing enriched uranium stockpile, nor the mechanism for verifying Iranian compliance with the nuclear status quo pledge. Neither side has formally confirmed the document as the signed MOU.
