Iran's state news agency IRNA has published what it says are the detailed terms of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, claiming the current text does not address the nuclear issue. According to IRNA, the agreement defines a 60-day negotiation phase covering only Iran's civilian nuclear program, the removal of US sanctions, and a compensation mechanism. The report states the US commits to compelling Israel to end the war in Lebanon, that missile issues are excluded from talks, and that some frozen Iranian assets will be released immediately upon signing.
Iran's state news agency IRNA has published what it describes as the detailed contents of the emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU), providing the most granular description of the framework yet from the Iranian side. According to IRNA, the MOU explicitly defers resolution of the nuclear issue to a 60-day negotiation phase that will follow the signing — a detail that aligns with earlier reports The Zioneer has tracked since midnight that the nuclear question would be relegated to a separate track.
Per IRNA, the three topics for the 60-day talks are limited to: Iran's civilian nuclear program, the removal of all unilateral US sanctions along with relevant international decisions, and the establishment of a compensation mechanism for Iran. The agency explicitly states that Iran's missile capabilities and additional issues will not be discussed. IRNA also claims the MOU includes a US commitment to compel Israel to end the war in Lebanon, and that the term 'extension of the ceasefire' has no place in the wording.
The report specifies that some frozen Iranian assets will be released immediately upon signing, with the remainder released gradually during negotiations. The management of the Strait of Hormuz, per IRNA, will be settled within a regional framework through dialogue between Tehran and Oman — not through a direct Iranian commitment to hand over control. This framing marks a hardening of the Iranian position compared to earlier reports, which had suggested a reopening of the strait was imminent as part of a deal President Trump described hours earlier.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today at 14:02 and 14:35, the scope of the talks had been narrowing in Iranian state media accounts. This latest IRNA dispatch — published at 14:40 Jerusalem — is the most comprehensive Iranian description yet. It remains a single-source Iranian claim, not independently confirmed, and should be read as Tehran's maximalist framing of what it hopes the MOU will contain.
