CNN reports it has obtained the confidential 14-article draft agreement between the US and Iran from an American source, according to a new report Wednesday evening. The document details a ceasefire, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and economic relief, and is reportedly slated for formal signing in Switzerland this Friday, the network said. The draft remains unverified by US or Israeli officials, and follows earlier leaks published by Iranian media.
CNN published a fresh report Wednesday evening, citing an American source, that it had obtained the full 14-article draft US-Iran agreement. The document, which CNN says includes terms for a ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and economic relief, is slated for formal signing in Switzerland this Friday.
The Zioneer first reported at 12:37 Wednesday that CNN had obtained a classified 14-clause draft with a digital signature. At 12:37, a leaked full text of the memorandum was also published, revealing a $300 billion fund, oil relief, and no requirement for nuclear dismantlement. By 12:37, another bulletin noted Iran had claimed the published draft was inaccurate, saying the official text would be released only after signing. At 16:02, CNN's earlier coverage was reported. The Times of Israel published a full text at 16:57. The network's latest report Wednesday evening adds the detail of a Swiss signing ceremony, citing its American source.
The development continues a thread that began with leaks from Iranian media on Monday and Tuesday. Mehr News Agency published a 14-article draft at 07:53 Monday; President Trump said Friday the US and Iran were near a 60-day ceasefire deal reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The security cabinet discussed the emerging agreement on Friday evening, as The Zioneer reported at 19:40.
No US or Israeli official has confirmed the draft's authenticity. The terms regarding Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, missile program, and support for regional allies remain open; the draft reportedly defers a decision on the uranium stockpile to a final deal to be negotiated within 60 days.
