Iran’s state television reported that Tehran had obtained a draft of an initial and unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Iran and the United States aimed at ending their conflict and easing tensions in the Gulf region.
Under the proposed framework, Iran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within one month, while the United States would withdraw military forces from areas near Iran and lift its naval blockade.
State TV said the framework excludes military vessels and envisions Iran managing ship traffic through the strategic waterway in coordination with Oman.
The report stressed that the draft agreement has not yet been finalized and that Tehran would not implement any commitments without “tangible verification.”
According to the report, a final agreement reached within 60 days could potentially be adopted as a binding resolution by the United Nations Security Council.
The emerging U.S.-Iran memorandum stems from indirect negotiations launched after the outbreak of war earlier this year, with Pakistan reportedly playing a key mediating role between Tehran and Washington.
The conflict erupted following a sharp escalation between Iran and Israel, with both countries exchanging missile and drone attacks that disrupted shipping operations in the Gulf and prompted U.S. military involvement.
The escalation fueled fears of a broader regional conflict and raised concerns over global energy supplies and maritime security in one of the world’s busiest shipping routes.
