TL;DR

An advisor to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has disclosed the main clauses of the draft agreement being negotiated between Tehran and Washington. According to the report, the first phase includes a cessation of hostilities, security commitments, partial release of frozen Iranian assets, and sanctions relief — while the nuclear issue is deferred to a later stage.

01 · THE DISPATCH

An advisor to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has disclosed additional details of the draft agreement under negotiation between Tehran and Washington, according to a report published at 14:38 Jerusalem. The advisor confirmed the phased structure first reported earlier today: a first phase includes a cessation of hostilities, security commitments, partial release of frozen Iranian assets, and sanctions relief, while the nuclear issue is set aside for later. The advisor added that the final phase would see Iran demanding broad removal of US sanctions and a compensation mechanism for damages from war and economic pressure. This disclosure builds on a rapid series of earlier reports this afternoon that fleshed out the emerging deal, with each successive source adding layers of detail on the same core framework: a 60-day negotiation window, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, and a staged approach to sanctions relief and nuclear restrictions.

As The Zioneer reported at 07:27 Jerusalem, journalist Yaron Abrams first published the draft terms of a 60-day ceasefire, including the Hormuz opening and nuclear-focused final negotiations, with no named attribution. By 13:13 Jerusalem, a channel linked to Iran published what it described as the full six-clause draft memorandum, adding specific terms such as a 60-day negotiation period, a Tehran pledge not to produce nuclear weapons, and temporary US oil sanctions relief. At 13:20 Jerusalem, an Iranian official told Reuters the draft includes Iranian agreement to dilute enriched uranium domestically, immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, US oil sanctions relief, and the release of $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets. The advisor speaking at 14:38 Jerusalem is the highest-ranking official yet to publicly discuss the drafts, lending corroboration to the phased framework reported by multiple sources throughout the day — though his account still falls short of an on-the-record confirmation from either government.

Background reports on the broader context have been building for days. As The Zioneer reported on June 12, Iran signaled it had a draft memorandum that omitted uranium surrender demands; separately, its media described a 60-day negotiation window with a $24 billion frozen asset release. On June 13, a US official told Israel Hayom the emerging deal includes the destruction and removal of all enriched nuclear material, a point that stands in tension with the Iranian-sourced drafts that describe domestic dilution rather than out-of-country removal.

All disclosed clauses remain as expressed in Iranian-aligned sources. No US or Israeli official has confirmed the full text; the gaps between accounts — particularly on the final disposition of enriched uranium — remain unresolved.
