The United States dismissed recent reports from Iran concerning a supposed draft agreement, labeling the claims a “complete fabrication.” According to coverage from Sky News, Iranian state television asserted that it had obtained a draft of an informal preliminary framework for a memorandum of understanding with the United States. The purported terms outlined in this framework suggested that Iran would restore commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to pre-conflict levels within a month. In exchange, the United States would reportedly withdraw its military forces and lift existing blockades.
However, international affairs journalist and Iran expert Tara Kangarlou had previously advised caution regarding such announcements. Kangarlou warned that circulating reports of this nature should be treated with skepticism. She indicated that the information was circulating online and cautioned readers against accepting the claims at face value.
The US government’s strong rejection of the supposed draft underscores the current lack of official confirmation regarding any comprehensive peace accord between the two nations.
