The draft stipulates that Iran will dilute its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, the US will ease oil sanctions, and approximately $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets will be released.

Details of the memorandum of understanding being worked on between Iran and the US are beginning to emerge. According to the draft text, Iran agrees not to produce or acquire nuclear weapons, while the Washington administration is expected to ease oil sanctions, release frozen Iranian assets, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping.
WILL NOT PRODUCE NUCLEAR WEAPONS
According to Reuters, citing a senior Iranian official, under the draft agreement, Iran has agreed not to produce or acquire nuclear weapons. The parties are also reported to have agreed in principle on the dilution of Iran's high-enriched uranium stocks within the country.
The official stated that technical details will be clarified in negotiations over the next 60 days.
EASING OF OIL SANCTIONS
The draft text also includes the US lifting oil sanctions against Iran for a certain period. If this step is implemented, Iran will be able to resume oil exports and access the revenues generated.
STRAIT OF HORMUZ TO REOPEN
The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most critical transit points for global energy trade, to all commercial vessels is among the notable provisions of the agreement.
According to the draft, the aim is to normalize commercial passages through the strait in exchange for the US lifting its naval blockade.
FROZEN ASSETS TO BE RELEASED
It is also reported that the Washington administration plans to release approximately $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets as part of the agreement.
These resources are considered capable of providing significant relief to Iran's economy.
SPARKS DEBATE IN IRAN
The leaked provisions of the draft text have sparked controversy in Iran as well. While clauses related to uranium stockpiles, the Strait of Hormuz, and the lifting of sanctions have drawn criticism from conservative circles, debates continue over whether the agreement serves the country's interests.
