TL;DR

Bloomberg has published the full 14-article text of a draft Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the United States, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). Key provisions include an immediate permanent ceasefire on all fronts including Lebanon, a 60-day window for a final agreement, US removal of the naval blockade and withdrawal of forces within 30 days of a final deal, lifting of all sanctions including UN, IAEA, and unilateral US measures, a pledge of at least $300 billion in reconstruction financing for Iran, and a framework that leaves the fate of enriched uranium and other nuclear issues for final negotiations. Iran reiterates it will never produce nuclear weapons. The document has not been officially confirmed by Washington or Tehran.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The Bloomberg publication of the full 14-article draft text is the newest leak in a fast-moving sequence that began Monday. As The Zioneer reported on Monday at 02:07, Iran's Mehr News Agency had published a 14-article draft. On Tuesday at 20:06, a flurry of reports converged: a version attributed to Al-Arabiya described by an Israeli security source as 'absolute surrender'; a draft published by journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) containing 12 articles; and i24NEWS correspondent Amichai Stein citing a draft that included a $300 billion reconstruction plan and a ceasefire in Lebanon. By Wednesday at 08:29, Rozentzweig and Barak Ravid confirmed the 12-point details, and at 08:42, a leaked Bloomberg memo was reported by The Zioneer to place the majority of concessions on Washington. The current Bloomberg text — 14 articles — is consistent with that memo, adding detail such as Article 13 conditioning a final agreement on guarantees that US pledges on the blockade, sanctions, oil exemptions, and frozen assets are being implemented, and Article 14 requiring a binding UN Security Council resolution for the final deal. The draft includes an immediate permanent ceasefire on all fronts including Lebanon, a 60-day negotiation window, US withdrawal of forces within 30 days of a final agreement, removal of all sanctions, at least $300 billion in reconstruction financing, and Iran's pledge never to produce nuclear weapons.

As reported by The Zioneer on Tuesday at 19:38, the Wall Street Journal had noted the US would grant immediate oil and fuel sanctions relief. An article from Thursday Jun 11 noted Iran claimed the Lebanon ceasefire text was finalized, asserting the US would compel Israel to end the war. The emerging framework, as The Zioneer reported in a background topic on Friday Jun 12, is described by the US as a 60-day stabilization period focused on nuclear enrichment and maritime security, while Iran frames it as a comprehensive victory involving lifted sieges, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and a full ceasefire on all fronts.

The document remains unverified by Washington, Tehran, or Jerusalem — the source is a single Bloomberg publication cited by Rozentzweig. No official confirmation has been issued.
