Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview that the emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding covers all fronts, including a Lebanese ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. He added that the agreement will be signed remotely and digitally, possibly within days, and that the nuclear issue has been deferred to a second stage. Araghchi also stated that management of the Strait of Hormuz will change: tolls will be imposed and services will no longer be free.
In a televised interview on Iranian state TV, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi laid out the broad contours of the emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU), which he said would include a ceasefire in Lebanon, an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, and a change in the Strait of Hormuz regime — with Iran and Oman imposing tolls and ending free passage. The nuclear issue, he confirmed, had been pushed to a second phase after Iran rejected current American demands. The initial signing will be digital and could take place within days.
Araghchi's statements follow a sequence of remarks he made earlier tonight. At 22:20 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported his insistence that the end of war must include all fronts, especially Lebanon. At 22:31, multiple versions of the thread captured his evolving description of the MoU: first as a 60-day first phase covering the nuclear issue, then as a not-yet-finalized 14-point text with nuclear talks deferred 60 days, and then as a document under two pages to be signed remotely. By 23:05, he had specified a digital signing within days — details now repeated and expanded in the latest interview.
Trump, meanwhile, confirmed a 60-day ceasefire and Strait of Hormuz reopening at 00:07 Jerusalem, but separately at 18:05 accused Iran of leaking 'fake' terms. The Zioneer has reported throughout the thread that the emerging MoU is a broad political framework still lacking a final text, with each side emphasizing different elements. Iran's claims regarding a finalized Lebanon ceasefire were previously reported as background (Jun 11, 20:46 Jerusalem), with Israeli sources then maintaining significant gaps remained.
What remains unverified: the exact Lebanese ceasefire terms, the status of Iran's frozen assets, whether Israel's opposition will alter the deal's implementation, and — crucially — whether the textual agreement Araghchi describes actually exists in a form both sides acknowledge.
