UMVA has learned that a groundbreaking memorandum of understanding has been signed by the US and Iran, marking a significant shift in the region's dynamics. The agreement extends the ceasefire to Israel and Hezbollah, reopens the Strait of Hormuz, and provides various forms of relief for Iran.
The deal, described by US officials as "performance-based" and a "pay for performance deal," will cease hostilities for 60 days as negotiations on Iran's nuclear program continue. Iranian funds will remain frozen until Iran fulfills its commitments, with relief from sanctions and frozen assets being contingent on Iranian nuclear concessions.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Trump confirmed that the US will pay $300 million to Iran and reaffirmed that Iran will "never have a nuclear weapon." The agreement outlines a 60-day ceasefire to continue talks, with Trump expecting the next stage of negotiations to "go pretty quickly."
The memorandum of understanding includes several key points, such as the cessation of hostilities across the region, including in Lebanon, and Tehran's reaffirmation of its pledge never to build a nuclear weapon. The US and Iran will work out what happens to Tehran's enriched uranium stockpile and open talks on Iran's future enrichment activities and nuclear needs.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the deal would also see the US lift its naval blockade, hold off on new sanctions, and refrain from sending more troops to the region. Iran would guarantee safe, toll-free passage for commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days, and Washington would release an unspecified amount of frozen Iranian assets once the MOU takes effect.
A final deal reached after the 60 days would see the US withdraw its forces within 30 days and lift all sanctions on Iran. The agreement would also pave the way for a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran and allow Iran to resume oil sales through temporary sanctions waivers.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that the US and Iran would work together to negotiate new shipping and maritime security arrangements for the Gulf, with Iran, Oman, and Gulf states playing a key role in the talks. The developments have significant implications for the region, and UMVA will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
