A reported memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States has outlined a broad framework for ending hostilities, addressing Tehran’s nuclear programme, easing sanctions and ensuring maritime security in the Gulf, according to details published by Israel’s Channel 12.
The Israeli broadcaster said the document contains 12 key clauses covering a possible roadmap for negotiations and a future comprehensive agreement between Washington and Tehran.
According to the report, the proposed memorandum calls for Iran, the United States and their allies to halt hostilities, including in Lebanon, as part of efforts to reduce regional tensions.
The document also states that Iran would reaffirm its commitment not to develop or acquire nuclear weapons, while both countries would work toward resolving the issue of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium.
It further proposes that the two sides hold discussions on uranium enrichment and Iran’s civilian nuclear needs, with Tehran maintaining the current status of its nuclear programme for the duration of the negotiations.
On sanctions, the reported agreement says the United States would refrain from imposing new sanctions, avoid reinforcing its military presence in the region and lift its naval blockade while negotiations continue.
In return, Iran would guarantee safe and free passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for a period of 60 days after the memorandum takes effect.

The report also claims Washington would make Iran’s frozen overseas assets available for use once the memorandum is implemented and would grant Tehran temporary sanctions waivers allowing it to continue selling oil during the negotiation period.
If a final agreement is reached, the memorandum reportedly provides for the withdrawal of U.S. forces within 30 days, the removal of all sanctions imposed on Iran and the establishment of a $300 billion reconstruction fund to support Iran’s economic recovery.
The proposed framework further indicates that future negotiations would be conducted between Iran and Oman, with the participation of Gulf states, to develop arrangements governing shipping and maritime services in the region.
Neither Washington nor Tehran had officially confirmed the authenticity of the reported memorandum at the time of filing this report, and the details remain based solely on the document published by Israel’s Channel 12.
