A member of the Iranian parliament's Economic Committee says the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding contains significant flaws and contradictions, but that descriptions such as 'worse than the nuclear deal' or 'Iran's surrender' go beyond reality, according to a single source.
This morning, a member of the Iranian parliament's Economic Committee — whose name has not been widely disclosed — commented on the emerging US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, which has been the subject of extensive debate in Tehran. The politician acknowledged that the current draft contains 'significant flaws and contradictions' and requires corrections. However, he pushed back against critics who label the framework as 'worse than the nuclear deal,' a 'colonization of Iran,' or a surrender. The remarks add to a pattern of mixed signals from Iranian officials: over the past week, other figures — including Deputy National Security Commission Chair Nabavian — have described leaked excerpts as incomplete but stopped short of endorsing the deal. The MOU's exact terms remain unverified by independent sources, and no formal announcement has been made by either Tehran or Washington.
