A source from the Iranian negotiation team denied claims in the US media that a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the US, which envisages extending the ceasefire and starting nuclear program talks, has been finalized.
A source speaking to the Iranian press denied the agreement reports in the US media. The source stated that the news claiming the text is only awaiting the official announcement of both parties does not align with the facts, and expressed that the document has not yet been finalized. A US-based news site, citing US officials and a regional source, had claimed that negotiators from the two countries had reached an agreement to extend the ceasefire by 60 days and to start discussions on Iran's nuclear program. The report alleged that US President Donald Trump had not yet given his final approval to the agreement.
According to the report, the 60-day draft agreement envisages unrestricted maritime transport in the Strait of Hormuz, no transit fees, and Iran clearing all mines in the strait within 30 days. It was suggested that the text would include Iran's commitment not to develop nuclear weapons; the disposal of highly enriched uranium, the easing of White House sanctions, the release of frozen Iranian assets, and the establishment of a mechanism to facilitate access to humanitarian aid would be negotiated during the 60-day process.
The Iranian source, rejecting the claims in this US media report, emphasized that if a final agreement text is reached, Iran will formally inform Pakistani mediators and announce the matter to the public. The source noted that Western-based reports claiming the agreement is completed until an official statement is made lack credibility.
