The United States, currently engaged in hostilities with Iran, has indicated that the implementation of a preliminary Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will lead to the dismantling of Iran's nuclear program and facilities, as well as the disposal and export of nuclear materials, according to a Trump administration official.
The official stated that Iran's commitment to abandon its nuclear ambitions is indefinite, and the U.S. has tentatively agreed to provide economic incentives, including the release of frozen funds and the lifting of sanctions, contingent upon Iran fulfilling its promises.
The official emphasized that the signing of this MOU would result in the dismantling of Iran's nuclear program, stating, "It was a commitment to dismantle nuclear programs and facilities."
The MOU stipulates that the U.S. will obtain enriched nuclear materials, with provisions for their destruction and export outlined in the agreement.
Once both parties sign the MOU, technical negotiations will take place over the next 60 days to discuss how to destroy and export the enriched nuclear materials.
The official also noted that Iran will not be allowed to acquire or develop nuclear weapons indefinitely, although civilian nuclear power generation will be permitted.
While inspections and verification will be conducted regarding the dismantling of Iran's nuclear program and the disposal of nuclear materials, the official mentioned that "they will receive some benefits from the negotiations."
He added, "If they hand over nuclear materials as promised, Iran will gain something. If they dismantle their nuclear program or facilities, they will gain something else. If they are truly committed to peace and stability in the region, they will receive additional benefits on top of that."
However, the official clarified that in the absence of mutual trust between the U.S. and Iran, economic rewards will be based on Iran's level of compliance, stating that reports suggesting Iran would immediately receive $12 billion in frozen funds upon signing the MOU are inaccurate.
