Bloomberg published the full text of an alleged US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding on Wednesday morning, detailing a 60-day framework for a comprehensive ceasefire, sanctions relief, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. Separately, a source in the 'Shiite duo' (Hezbollah and Amal) told Saudi daily Asharq Al-Awsat that Hezbollah has been informed by Tehran that Iran will not sign a final nuclear deal with Washington before a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, which is to be completed within the 60-day period.
A Hezbollah and Amal source told Saudi daily Asharq Al-Awsat that Tehran informed the Lebanese factions it will not sign a final nuclear deal with Washington before a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. The source said the withdrawal is to be completed gradually within the 60-day window outlined in the alleged US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, whose full 14-article text Bloomberg published Wednesday morning. The source also claimed the MoU already commits to a ceasefire and halting Israeli strikes, with a US-backed guarantee for Lebanon's territorial integrity.
This development follows a thread that began June 11. As The Zioneer reported on Saturday June 13 at 04:14 Jerusalem, Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon is a condition for the deal. On Monday June 15 at 16:50 Jerusalem, Hezbollah officially endorsed the reported agreement. That same day at 11:04 Jerusalem, Araghchi had set a Friday deadline for the withdrawal condition. The MoU's first full-text leak came Tuesday June 16 at 20:06 Jerusalem, when multiple outlets published draft versions; at 22:38 Jerusalem on that day, Al-Arabiya published a text that Israeli security sources characterized as 'absolute surrender.'
As The Zioneer reported on Tuesday June 16 at 12:07 Jerusalem, Tehran had already reassured Lebanese allies that southern Lebanon would not be 'left behind' in the emerging regional understandings. A June 11 report noted that Iran claimed a Lebanon ceasefire was finalized, though Israeli sources maintained significant gaps remained. The document's veracity remains unconfirmed by official US or Israeli channels.
