The White House published the comprehensive 14-article framework Thursday, and Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman confirmed the MoU was formally signed, according to i24NEWS. The agreement includes an immediate end to hostilities on all fronts, sanctions relief, a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iran, and a 30-day window for US naval withdrawal. Iran's enriched uranium will be diluted on-site under IAEA supervision.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman officially confirmed to Israeli media Thursday that the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding was formally signed, according to i24NEWS. The confirmation came hours after the White House published the full 14-article text earlier in the night, and a day after reports emerged that the document had been electronically signed on Wednesday. The MoU text, first reported in full by The Zioneer on Wednesday at 20:26 Jerusalem, includes 14 articles covering an immediate end to hostilities on all fronts—including Lebanon—a cessation of the US naval blockade within 30 days, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the lifting of all UN Security Council, IAEA Board of Governors, and unilateral US sanctions. A $300 billion reconstruction and development plan for Iran is outlined, to be finalized within 60 days.
As The Zioneer tracked through the night, the published text evolved from an initial 13-point version to the final 14-point framework. The first report at 20:26 Jerusalem Wednesday stated that enriched uranium would not leave Iran but be diluted on-site under IAEA supervision. That same evening, a second version confirmed a 60-day negotiation window for a final comprehensive agreement, and explicitly stated the war would end on all fronts including Lebanon. The current text maintains the dilution arrangement and adds that Iran affirms it will not acquire or develop nuclear weapons. The thread's source quality progressed from a single journalist's citation (Amichai Stein, i24NEWS) to multiple news outlets corroborating the text, culminating in Iran's official on-record confirmation.
As The Zioneer reported earlier in the week—including in its Jun 15 background article—Iran's Supreme National Security Council had already declared a permanent end to war on all fronts on Monday, before the MoU's full text was even released. The US-Iran MoU topic page, published Friday Jun 12, had framed the framework as an emerging diplomatic de-escalation effort. The current 14-point text aligns with those antecedent reports by including an immediate and permanent ceasefire across all fronts.
What remains open is the implementation timeline: the MoU sets a maximum 60-day period to negotiate a final agreement, extendable only by mutual consent, and the sanctions-removal and nuclear-dilution timelines are explicitly linked. No official signing ceremony or US administration statement confirming the signature has been published as of the latest update.
