White House dismisses Iranian report of draft peace deal

Stay up to date with notifications from The IndependentNotifications can be managed in browser preferences.AllNewsSportCultureLifestyleIranian state TV is reporting that a draft memorandum of understanding (MOU) framework between the US and Iran suggests the US would lift its naval blockade on Iranian ports and withdraw military forces.Under this alleged draft, Iran would commit to restoring commercial transit through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within one month, with Iran and Oman managing ship traffic. The White House has vehemently denied the Iranian state TV report, dismissing it as “a complete fabrication” and saying no such agreement exists. Previously, Iran had conditioned any peace agreement with the US on the release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets, demanding half be transferred upon the announcement of an MOU. The broader context includes ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, highlighted by a recent attack on a South Korean cargo ship likely involving an Iranian anti-ship missile, and NATO preparations for potential missions in the region.
