Iran's state news agency IRNA has published what it says are the key terms of the emerging US-Iran MOU, claiming the agreement does not address the nuclear issue at all. According to IRNA, the current text covers only an end to hostilities and a framework for 60 days of follow-up talks that would discuss three topics: Iran's civilian nuclear program, lifting US sanctions, and compensation. The report says Iran is not making new commitments at this stage, missile issues are entirely off the table, and the US commits to working toward ending the war in Lebanon. Some frozen Iranian assets would be released immediately upon signing, per the report.
The latest IRNA report — published at 20:56 Jerusalem alongside the previous installment — sharpens the picture it first presented 14:02 Jerusalem: the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, as Tehran's state media describes it, excludes the nuclear issue from its current stage entirely. IRNA now states the agreement covers only a ceasefire and a 60-day negotiation framework, deferring nuclear talks to the follow-up period. This version also introduces clauses not highlighted earlier — that Iran is making no new commitments now, that missiles are fully off the table, and that the US commits to working toward ending the war in Lebanon.
The desk traced the evolution of these claims across the afternoon. At 13:15 Jerusalem, Iran's Mehr News Agency published a 14-article draft that included a $300 billion reconstruction demand and a release of frozen funds — terms that appear in none of the IRNA versions. At 13:32 Jerusalem, anonymous Iranian officials told state media that missiles and proxies had been removed from talks, and that nuclear talks would be deferred by 60 days. At 14:02 and 14:26 Jerusalem, IRNA published summaries and then what it called the full text of the MOU, still without the current explicit nuclear exclusion. The latest IRNA report, with identical publication time (20:56 Jerusalem), appears to be a refinement or alternative framing: the same state source now says the nuclear issue is entirely omitted from the MOU.
As The Zioneer reported across the thread (13:15, 14:02, 20:56 Jerusalem), all published versions remain unattributed — no named Iranian official is cited, and no US or Israeli confirmation has been issued. The New York Times reported (08:16 Jerusalem, Jun 10) a framework breakthrough including a 15-year enrichment halt, but those details have no overlap with any Iranian-sourced version today.
What remains open: every claim in the IRNA report is unverified and attributed to no named source. The document itself has not been published by any official US or Israeli channel; the reported text still contradicts in tone and scope with Mehr's earlier 14-article proposal. Whether the MOU actually has a final text — and whether the nuclear issue is truly excluded or is a negotiation placeholder — is not independently confirmed. The desk will update as cross-verification emerges.
