Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency says the draft text of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding published by Bloomberg is inaccurate, contains many omissions, and is missing key phrases — according to a statement from the agency carried by Iranian channels. Tasnim added that under the understandings already reached between the parties, the full text of the MOU will not be released even after it is signed on Friday.
Tehran's Tasnim News Agency — an outlet closely aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — published a statement Wednesday morning casting doubt on the draft US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding text that appeared in Bloomberg earlier this week. The agency said the published text is 'inaccurate, contains many omissions, and is missing key phrases,' while reiterating that the full MOU text will remain secret even after the planned signing on Friday.
This marks the latest signal from Iran's hardline apparatus questioning the transparency and reliability of reports about the emerging diplomatic framework. Over the past week, The Zioneer has tracked conflicting signals: Iran's Mehr News Agency published what it said was the full 14-article draft on Monday (Jun 15, 07:53 Jerusalem), while IRGC-affiliated Fars simultaneously reported that no final agreement exists and even if one were reached it would not meet the Trump administration's timeline. A senior US official was quoted on Monday saying details would be published within 24-48 hours. Tasnim's latest statement, however, suggests the opposite — and that the document itself will remain opaque.
Background: The US-Iran MOU track has been characterized by rapid, contradictory leaks from multiple Iranian outlets with varying proximity to the regime's decision-making centers. The apparent lack of a single authoritative text, combined with conflicting statements on whether the MOU will actually be signed on Friday, leaves the diplomatic situation in a state of high uncertainty. No Western or Israeli official has confirmed or denied the Tasnim report as of publication.
