On June 17, citing sources familiar with the negotiations, Tasnim stated, "The document that Bloomberg published 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 discrepancies in the language of Article 1 and the provisions related to the Strait of Hormuz, stating that some key phrases are missing.
According to Bloomberg's report, Article 1 stipulates that the U.S., Iran, and their allied forces will cease hostilities and end the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, upon signing the MOU.
The section regarding the Strait of Hormuz includes provisions for Iran to take necessary actions, such as mine removal, immediately upon signing the MOU, with a goal of restoring commercial shipping to pre-war levels within 30 days.
However, Tasnim previously reported that, at Iran's request, language regarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon 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 on tolls.
The source indicated that the full text of the MOU will be officially released after the signing ceremony on June 19. Until the official document is made public, the specific details and implementation timelines of the articles remain unconfirmed.
