The White House denied that the draft text of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding published earlier is the correct version, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The statement marks the first on-record denial from Washington, following Iran's state-aligned Tasnim agency and the White House itself previously dismissing the leaked text as inaccurate.
The White House has issued an on-record denial that the draft text of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding published earlier today is the correct version, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) citing an official source.
The denial follows a similar dismissal earlier today by Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency, which called the Bloomberg-published draft inaccurate and said the full text would remain secret even after signing. As The Zioneer reported, the White House had not previously issued an on-record denial of the specific draft, though officials had privately pushed back on its accuracy.
The US-Iran MOU, expected to be signed on Friday, covers a framework for nuclear and regional arrangements. The precise terms remain unconfirmed, with both Washington and Tehran now disputing the version that circulated publicly.
