The White House has published the full text of the 13-point memorandum of understanding with Iran, detailing an immediate end to hostilities on all fronts, U.S. naval withdrawal from the region within 30 days, the lifting of all sanctions, and the release of frozen Iranian funds. Iran reaffirms it will not develop nuclear weapons; the status quo of its nuclear program is maintained pending a final deal worth at least $300 billion in reconstruction aid.
The White House published the full 13-point text of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding shortly after midnight Thursday Jerusalem time, confirming details that had been circulating in earlier leaks and partial summaries since Wednesday evening. The document formalizes an immediate end to hostilities on all fronts (paragraph 1), a U.S. naval withdrawal from the region within 30 days proportional to pre-war traffic (paragraph 4), the full termination of all U.S. and international sanctions including UN and IAEA resolutions (paragraph 7), and the immediate release of frozen Iranian funds (paragraph 11). On nuclear matters (paragraph 8), Iran reaffirms it will not seek nuclear weapons, and enriched material will be diluted on-site under IAEA supervision — matching the initial report by journalist Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) that The Zioneer carried at 20:26 Jerusalem Wednesday. The earlier summary, which Stein sourced to the published text itself, stated enriched uranium would not be removed from Iran. The final comprehensive agreement is to be negotiated within 60 days, a timeline also reported in that same initial thread item.
As The Zioneer documented across Wednesday, initial reports (20:26 Jerusalem) cited Stein's account of the MoU's nuclear provision and the 60-day negotiation window, along with the end of the war on all fronts including Lebanon. By 20:49 Jerusalem, The Zioneer carried Trump's quip about Iran's negotiating record, and at 12:58 Jerusalem Wednesday a separate SAME-THREAD item had already published the full text under a 14-point headline, noting a $300 billion reconstruction fund — a figure now confirmed in paragraph 6 of the 13-point document. The discrepancy between earlier 14-point references and the final 13-article structure reflects the evolution of the document's framing before its official release.
Background context, as previously reported by The Zioneer, shows the MoU emerged from weeks of indirect talks, with President Trump confirming a 60-day ceasefire framework as early as Fri Jun 12. The Wall Street Journal reported on Tue Jun 16 that the U.S. would grant Iran immediate oil and fuel sanctions relief, and a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Sun Jun 14 that the draft included a $25 billion asset release — amounts now superseded by the published text's broader scope. The document also includes a U.S. commitment to develop, with regional partners, a plan for at least $300 billion in reconstruction and economic development for Iran (paragraph 6), and establishes a monitoring mechanism for implementation (paragraph 12).
The published text is the authoritative version, but several operational details remain open: the specific schedule for sanctions termination (paragraph 7), the precise mechanism for downblending enriched material under IAEA supervision, and the terms of the final comprehensive deal — negotiations on which are to begin only after the initial ceasefire, sanctions relief, and naval withdrawal are implemented. The absence of explicit IDF withdrawal language despite its implication, noted in The Zioneer background reporting, also remains unresolved.
