The White House has denied that the draft text of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding published overnight by Bloomberg and later by CNN is the correct version, according to Israeli journalist Tomer Almogor (N12). The denial follows Iranian state-aligned media earlier dismissing the leaked draft as inaccurate.
The White House has denied that the draft US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU) published overnight by Bloomberg and later today by CNN is accurate, Israeli journalist Tomer Almogor reported for N12. The denial comes after Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency also dismissed the leaked draft as inaccurate earlier today, as The Zioneer reported at 12:12. Tasnim said the published version omitted key phrases and that the full text will remain secret even after signing. The discrepancy between the leaked draft and official denials from both Washington and Tehran leaves the true content of the agreement uncertain. The MOU is scheduled to be signed on Friday.
