UMVA has learned that a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran has been signed, marking a significant shift in the complex relationship between the two nations.
The MOU, hashed out by the Trump administration, outlines a 60-day ceasefire and negotiation framework aimed at resolving longstanding conflicts. President Donald Trump's signature on the deal has put the framework into effect, bringing an end to military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the agreement declares the immediate and permanent termination of military operations between the two nations and their allies. Both countries have undertaken to refrain from initiating any war or military operation against each other, and to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The MOU also commits the United States and Iran to negotiating and achieving a final deal within 60 days, extendable with mutual consent. During this period, the United States will begin the removal of its naval blockade and any disturbances or impediments against Iran, with a full end to the blockade within 30 days.
Iran has agreed to make arrangements for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days, from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa. The traffic of commercial vessels will immediately start and will be instated within 30 days, pending the removal of technical and military obstacles.
The United States has undertaken to develop a definitive plan with regional partners to provide at least $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of Iran. The mechanism for implementing this plan will be finalized as part of the final deal within 60 days.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the MOU also includes a commitment from the United States to terminate all types of sanctions against Iran, including UN Security Council resolutions, IAEA Board of Governors resolutions, and all unilateral US sanctions. The two nations have acknowledged the critical importance of the sanctions termination issue and have expressed their intention to immediately address these issues in negotiations.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has reaffirmed that it shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons. The United States and Iran have agreed to resolve the disposition of stockpile enriched material pursuant to a mutually agreed-upon mechanism, with the minimum methodology to be downblending on site under IAEA supervision.
Pending the final deal, both nations have agreed to maintain the status quo, with Iran maintaining its current nuclear program status and the United States not imposing any new sanctions or deploying additional forces in the region.
The MOU also includes an undertaking from the United States to issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, and derivatives, and to make fully available for use the frozen or restricted funds and assets of Iran upon implementation of the agreement.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that an executive mechanism will be established to monitor the successful implementation of the MOU and the future compliance of the final deal. The final deal will be endorsed by a binding UNSC resolution, marking a significant shift in international relations.
