A leaked framework for the US-Iran 'Islamabad Agreement' commits the US to releasing $12 billion in frozen Iranian funds before talks begin, suspending oil sanctions, and removing Iran's missile program and support for proxy groups from the final agenda, according to the source reports.
The Zioneer has obtained what it describes as the full text of a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran, posted on the organization's the source shortly after President Trump confirmed the completion of a 'peace deal' and ordered the lifting of the naval blockade.
The draft reveals sweeping economic terms that go beyond the headline of a 60-day ceasefire. Crucially, $24 billion in frozen Iranian funds are to be released during the 60-day final negotiation period — but half of that sum, $12 billion, is to be made available to Iran *before* negotiations even begin. Oil sanctions and petrochemical sanctions are to be suspended immediately, with full access restored to Iran's financial resources. The US and its allies are also required to present reconstruction plans for Iran totaling at least $300 billion.
On the security side, the draft mandates a permanent and immediate cessation of 'war on all fronts, including Lebanon,' a US commitment to non-interference in Iranian affairs, and the complete lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days. The Strait of Hormuz is to reopen within 30 days under Iranian arrangements. Notably, Iran's missile program and support for 'resistance groups' are definitively removed from the agenda.
The framework establishes a 60-day window to reach a final deal covering nuclear issues and the complete lifting of all sanctions. However, final negotiations will not begin until the $12 billion is released, oil sanctions are suspended, and the naval blockade is lifted — effectively making the entire process contingent on upfront US concessions. As The Zioneer reported earlier tonight, President Trump had already authorized the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The supervisory mechanism and requirement for a UN Security Council resolution are new details from this draft.
