New details on a 14-point draft memorandum being negotiated between the Washington and Tehran have been revealed by Iranian media.
The draft includes “U.S. commitments to lift sanctions, withdraw its forces from areas surrounding Iran, end the maritime blockade, reopen the Strait of Hormuz,” according to the semiofficial Mehr’s News Agency. Oil sanctions would also be removed and Iran’s frozen assets released, the agency said,
The U.S. would be required to present a plan for rebuilding Iran’s economy, it added.
Final negotiations would focus on “nuclear and economic issues,” Mehr’s said, although Trump has vowed that any plan will block Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon.
NBC News could not independently verify the news agency’s reporting and Washington has yet to comment on the report.
