Iran on Friday rejected recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding a reported agreement with Washington, saying his comments contradicted provisions of a draft understanding that remains under review, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.
Citing unnamed sources, Fars said Trump's remarks are "a mixture of truth and falsehood" and an attempt to portray a "manufactured victory."
A draft agreement based on the principle of "commitment for commitment" is in the final stages of consideration in Iran, although no final decision has yet been made, the sources added.
The news agency reported that no provision in the draft obliges Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without imposing fees or implementing security and monitoring arrangements.
It also rejected Trump's reported claim that Iran would dismantle or destroy its nuclear materials, saying no such commitment exists in the memorandum of understanding under discussion.
