Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has said that a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States, expected to be concluded in Islamabad, has never been closer to completion than it is now.
Araghchi made the remarks on his Telegram channel, assuring that all details of the Islamabad memorandum would be disclosed at the appropriate time.
“Until it is completed and formally approved, the media should refrain from speculating about its contents. In line with our responsible and transparent approach, all details will be made public at the appropriate time,” the Iranian foreign minister wrote.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump dismissed reports published by Iranian media regarding a draft agreement with Iran, describing them as false and saying they did not reflect reality or the terms agreed upon in writing.
According to Trump, claims circulated by Iranian media, including reports that an agreement had already been reached, were inaccurate. In the same statement, he accused Iran of carrying out drone attacks against Indian vessels departing the Strait of Hormuz, calling such actions completely unacceptable.
Earlier, Iran’s Mehr News Agency reported that the memorandum of understanding aimed at resolving tensions between the United States and Iran consists of 14 points, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of sanctions related to oil sales.
According to the agency, the proposed provisions include an immediate cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon; the lifting of the maritime blockade within 30 days and the withdrawal of US forces from areas bordering the Islamic Republic; the presentation by the United States and its allies of reconstruction projects worth at least $300 billion for Iran; and the removal of sanctions on the sale of Iranian oil and petroleum products.
The report also stated that Iran and the United States would hold negotiations on the nuclear issue within 60 days, after which a formal agreement would be signed.
According to Mehr, Iran has set the unfreezing of $12 billion in assets, the lifting of the blockade, and the removal of oil-related sanctions as conditions for launching nuclear talks.
The agency added that issues related to Iran’s missile programme and its support for forces associated with the so-called “Axis of Resistance” were not included in the text of the reported US-Iran memorandum.
