Details of behind-the-scenes negotiations between Tehran and Washington are becoming clearer. Iranian media has released a 14-point draft agreement aimed at permanently ending the conflict between Iran and the United States.
The alleged draft text, intended to reduce tensions between Iran and the U.S., has emerged publicly. According to a report by Iran’s Mehr News Agency citing sources close to Tehran’s negotiating team, the two sides are working on a 14-point agreement project designed to completely end hostilities. The draft reportedly includes provisions such as halting military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and establishing a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran financed by the United States.
The draft memorandum, also reported by Sputnik, contains several strategic clauses that could significantly reshape regional dynamics.
Permanent ceasefire on all fronts and lifting of the naval blockade
According to the leaked memorandum draft, the parties would immediately and permanently cease military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. The United States would pledge to respect Iran’s sovereign rights and refrain from interfering in its internal affairs.
Within 30 days of the agreement taking effect, Washington would fully lift the naval blockade imposed on Iran and withdraw its military assets from the region. In return, the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened to commercial traffic, subject to Iran’s legal regulations and oversight procedures.
$300 billion reconstruction project
The sections dealing with economic sanctions contain demands that would strengthen Tehran’s position. Under the draft, all embargoes on Iran’s oil and petrochemical exports would be lifted, and the country’s access to international financial mechanisms would be guaranteed.
One of the most striking clauses concerns a compensation-related fund. The draft states: “The United States and its allies are required to provide a fund of at least $300 billion for the reconstruction of Iran, which has been affected by war and sanctions.”
$12 billion in frozen assets to be released
With the start of the negotiations, the U.S. would initially release $12 billion from Iran’s frozen international accounts, representing half of the total amount slated for release.
On the nuclear issue, Iran would reaffirm its commitment not to produce nuclear weapons under the framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The parties would also begin talks within 60 days to fully revoke relevant UN Security Council and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) resolutions. During this period, the U.S. would be prohibited from deploying additional military forces to the region.
The draft also calls for the establishment of a joint oversight mechanism to ensure transparency and for the final agreement to be incorporated into international law through a UN Security Council resolution.
Key detail: Missiles not on the table
According to the leaked information, the final agreement would focus on enriched materials, uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and economic reconstruction. Iran’s missile program and its support for regional resistance groups would remain outside the scope of the negotiations.
Earlier, Iran’s Foreign Ministry stated that the text was still at the draft stage and would need to be reviewed by relevant Iranian institutions and receive final approval.
