BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 15. A draft 14-point
memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States
includes a provision for a $300 billion reconstruction plan to be
presented by the US and its allies.
This is reflected in the reports of Iranian media.
According to the source, the full draft text includes the
following provisions:
1. Permanent and immediate end to war on all fronts, including
Lebanon.
2. US commitment to non-interference in Iran's internal affairs
and respect for the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of
Iran.
3. Complete lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.
4. US commitment to withdraw its forces from around Iran.
5. Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days, under
Iranian arrangements.
6. Suspension of sanctions on oil and petrochemical product
sales and derivatives, and full Iranian access to its financial
resources.
7. Reconstruction plans to be presented by the US and its
allies, totalling at least $300 billion.
8. A 60-day negotiation period to reach a final agreement on the
nuclear issue and the complete removal of US primary and secondary
sanctions, UN Security Council resolutions, and IAEA Board of
Governors resolutions.
9. Reaffirmation of Iran's NPT commitment not to produce nuclear
weapons.
10. During the negotiation period, the US commits not to add
forces to the region and not to impose new sanctions.
11. Release of $24 billion in Iran's blocked funds during the
60-day final negotiation period, with half of that amount to be
made available to Iran before negotiations begin.
12. Establishment of a monitoring mechanism to implement the
agreement.
13. The final agreement to be ratified by a UN Security Council
resolution.
14. Final negotiations will not begin until half of Iran's
blocked funds are released, oil sanctions are suspended, and the
naval blockade is lifted. The final agreement will address only the
fate of enriched materials and enrichment, sanctions relief, and
Iran's economic reconstruction programme. Talks on Iran's missile
programme and its support for Resistance groups have been
definitively removed from the agenda.
Furthermore, the source emphasizes that the final phase of talks
remains contingent on the fulfillment of initial sanctions relief
and the release of frozen capital.
Meanwhile, as the Foreign Ministry spokesperson has stated, the
text still requires review and finalisation by the relevant
institutions in Iran.
