Iran's semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that the memorandum of understanding (MOU) on a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, published by Bloomberg, does not accurately reflect the actual agreement.
On June 17, citing sources familiar with the ceasefire negotiations, Tasnim stated, "The document that Bloomberg released as the 'Islamabad MOU' is inaccurate and contains several flaws."
The source claimed that while the MOU consists of 14 articles, the details reported by Bloomberg are significantly lacking.
In particular, the source noted, "There are discrepancies in Article 1 and the provisions related to the Strait of Hormuz, and some key phrases are missing."
Bloomberg's published Article 1 indicates that the U.S., Iran, and their allied forces will cease hostilities and refrain from aggressive actions across all fronts, including Lebanon, upon signing the MOU.
The provisions regarding the Strait of Hormuz state that Iran will take necessary measures, such as removing mines, immediately upon signing the MOU and will restore commercial shipping to pre-war levels within 30 days.
However, Tasnim previously reported that at Iran's request, language regarding Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity was added to Article 1. The provisions for the Strait of Hormuz also reportedly include management of maritime navigation services between Iran and Oman, as well as a 60-day waiver of tolls.
The source indicated that the full text of the MOU is expected to be officially released following the signing ceremony on June 19. Until the official document is made public, the specific details of each provision and the timeline for implementation remain undecided.
