Journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) published a 12-point draft of the emerging U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding. Key terms reportedly include a cessation of hostilities by Iran, the U.S., and their allies — including in Lebanon; a reaffirmed Iranian commitment not to develop nuclear weapons; a U.S. pledge to lift the naval blockade, impose no new sanctions, and not reinforce forces in the region during 60 days of talks; a framework for resolving the enriched uranium stockpile; and an eventual final agreement that would include full U.S. withdrawal within 30 days, removal of all sanctions, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund. The document has not been officially confirmed by Washington or Tehran.
A detailed 12-point draft of the emerging U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was published Wednesday morning by journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), offering the fullest public picture yet. The document was first reported Tuesday evening (20:06 Jerusalem) by diplomatic correspondent Amichai Stein of i24NEWS, who cited a published draft. Rozentzweig's publication provides a full article-by-article breakdown of what both Stein's and earlier reports described in summary.
The draft combines a 60-day stabilization period with sweeping reciprocal commitments. Iran, the U.S., and their allies would cease hostilities, including in Lebanon. Tehran reaffirms its pledge not to develop or acquire nuclear weapons. On the nuclear front, the sides commit to resolving the removal of the enriched uranium stockpile, with further talks on enrichment and Iran's civilian nuclear needs deferred — consistent with what The Zioneer reported on Friday (08:25 Jerusalem) would be left to a second-stage deal.
As The Zioneer reported at 00:08 Wednesday, an Iranian analysis noted that nearly all practical commitments in the draft fall on the U.S., while Iran's main obligations — reopening the Strait of Hormuz and renouncing nuclear weapons — are positions Tehran already held.
The document remains unconfirmed by the U.S. or Israeli governments. Israel has not officially commented on this specific draft. The precise timeline for the 60-day negotiation window, and whether both sides have formally agreed to the text published by Rozentzweig, remain unverified.
