Iran’s state television says Tehran has obtained a draft of an initial and unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding with the United States aimed at ending the ongoing conflict between the two countries.
Proposed Measures in the Draft
According to the report, the framework proposes that Iran restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within one month. In return, the United States would withdraw military forces from Iran’s vicinity and lift its naval blockade.
Strait of Hormuz Management
The proposed arrangement reportedly excludes military vessels and envisions Iran overseeing ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with Oman.
Agreement Not Yet Finalized
Iranian state TV emphasized that the framework remains unofficial and has not been finalized. Tehran reportedly insists that no practical steps will be taken without “tangible verification” of commitments from the other side.
Possible UN Security Council Backing
The report added that if both sides reach a final agreement within 60 days, the deal could potentially be adopted as a binding resolution by the United Nations Security Council.
