According to an unverified draft published by Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency, the agreement between the US and Iran includes the release of $24 billion in frozen assets, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of oil sanctions, and the preparation of a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iran. The draft also notably keeps Iran's missile program and regional allies out of the negotiation agenda.
Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency has published a draft of a 14-point agreement reportedly being worked on between Tehran and Washington. The draft, not yet confirmed by official authorities, includes notable items ranging from the release of frozen Iranian assets to the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, lifting sanctions, and excluding Iran's missile program from negotiations.
RELEASE OF $24 BILLION IN FROZEN ASSETS FORESEEN
According to the draft published by Mehr News Agency, during the 60-day negotiation process between the US and Iran, it is planned to release $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets.
According to information in the draft, half of these funds are expected to be made available to Iran before negotiations begin.
PERMANENT END TO MILITARY OPERATIONS SOUGHT
The initial articles of the draft call for an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts. This is stated to include activities in Lebanon.
It is also stated that the US will commit to non-interference in Iran's internal affairs and respect for the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
STRAIT OF HORMUZ TO BE REOPENED WITHIN 30 DAYS
One of the most striking articles in the draft is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. According to this, the Washington administration will agree to lift the naval blockade within 30 days, withdraw its military elements around Iran, and within the same period, reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international maritime traffic within the framework of regulations determined by Iran.
TRUMP HAD CALLED IT A "GREAT DEAL"
The publication of the draft text came after US President Donald Trump described the agreement as a "great deal." Trump argued the deal would bring peace and security to the region, stating that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen and oil shipments would return to normal.
Qatar's Prime Minister, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and numerous international leaders also made statements supporting the framework of the agreement.
MISSILE PROGRAM AND REGIONAL MILITIA FORCES OFF THE TABLE
One of the most critical headings of the draft was the scope of future negotiations. According to Mehr, talks between the parties will be limited only to topics of enriched uranium stockpiles, uranium enrichment activities, lifting sanctions, and economic restructuring.
Iran's ballistic missile program and Tehran's backed regional armed groups will be excluded from the negotiation agenda. This article is noted as being seen as an important diplomatic gain, especially for Iran.
OIL AND PETROCHEMICAL SANCTIONS TO BE SUSPENDED
According to the draft, sanctions on Iranian oil, petrochemical products, and related export items are planned to be suspended. This aims to lift restrictions on revenues Iran earns from energy exports and provide Tehran with full access to its income.
$300 BILLION RECONSTRUCTION PLAN FROM US AND ALLIES
One of the most striking economic articles in the draft is the giant investment package envisioned for Iran's reconstruction. According to this, the US and its allies will be asked to prepare a reconstruction and economic development plan for Iran worth at least $300 billion. This sum is seen as potentially one of the largest economic support packages proposed in the Middle East in recent years.
60-DAY NEGOTIATION PROCESS TO BEGIN
Under the draft, the parties will then enter a formal 60-day negotiation process to reach a comprehensive final agreement covering Iran's nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions. The talks will also address US primary and secondary sanctions, as well as restrictions from the United Nations Security Council and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
IRAN'S COMMITMENT ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS
According to the draft, Iran will reaffirm its obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and declare that it will not develop nuclear weapons. The draft also includes provisions that the US will not deploy new military forces to the region or impose new sanctions on Iran while negotiations continue.
DRAFT NOT YET OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED
The 14-point draft published by Mehr News Agency has not yet been confirmed by independent sources. Iranian and American officials have not made official statements regarding the content of the text. Therefore, it is noted that the articles in the draft may change as negotiations progress and different provisions may appear in the final agreement.
