The draft, initially leaked by Bloomberg with a version later published by CNN, includes a commitment from the U.S. to end, “on a schedule to be agreed upon as part of the final agreement,” sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
With technical details still being finalized, it’s highly possible the wording and terms could shift.
TIME has been unable to independently verify the contents of the draft agreement and has reached out to the White House for comment.
Steven Cheung, the White House director of communications, publicly said “the supposed text” of the memorandum of understanding that was obtained by CNN “does not reflect the language of the actual MOU.”
You can read the leaked 14-point draft agreement in full, below.
1 — The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States, together with their allies in the current war, declare upon the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding an immediate and permanent end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, and undertake that from now on they will not launch any hostile action against each other, and will refrain from the threat or use of force against each other. The final agreement will confirm the provisions of this Article and the remaining Articles.
