The contours of a peace agreement between the US and Iran are coming into focus, but the leaked details present a different picture than the one promoted by the White House, Reuters reported. According to a senior Iranian official who shared details of the draft Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the framework establishes a 60-day window following its initial signing to finalize a comprehensive, binding agreement governing Iran’s nuclear program.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. The core trade-offs The draft MoU relies on immediate, mutual de-escalation in the Persian Gulf and economic relief for Tehran. Iran commits to lifting its military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, allowing all commercial vessels to pass freely. In return, the US will lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports. The US agrees not to impose any new sanctions while the final agreement is being negotiated. Furthermore, Washington will temporarily lift existing oil sanctions, allowing Iran to sell crude oil on the global market and generate immediate revenue. The US also agrees to return $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets. This transfer of wealth is slated to be facilitated through direct cash transfers, financial credit lines, and cooperation with regional mediator countries. A Contradiction with the White House The leaked financial terms contradict the public narrative aggressively advanced by US President Donald Trump. In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump declared that his new agreement with Iran would be an immediate “WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON,” explicitly contrasting it with the Obama-era JCPOA by asserting that under his deal, “no money will exchange hands.”
