Peace memorandum to be signed by the US and Iran is a “vague” 14-point text, CNN reveals
Preliminary US-Iran deal suggests Tehran could access $300 billion in funds for reconstruction
The memorandum of understanding that Iran and the United States plan to formalize this Friday in Switzerland contains 14 points with “generic” and “vague” language that includes the reopening of Hormuz and exemptions from the sanctions imposed on Tehran, according to CNN, which has had access to the draft.
In addition, Iran reiterates its commitment that “it will never manufacture nuclear weapons,” although the text to end the war does not offer details about Iran's reserves of enriched uranium, the US network reported.
According to CNN, Tehran's commitment not to acquire nuclear weapons is similar to that expressed in the previous agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which former US President Barack Obama signed and which Trump suspended in 2018.
The preliminary agreement between the United States and Iran, which was already signed last Sunday virtually, suggests that Tehran could access funds worth $300 billion "if it complies with commitments related to its nuclear program in future negotiations," the network adds.
US President Donald Trump denied this Wednesday from Évian (France) that the document includes a $300 billion investment fund for the reconstruction of Iran or the lifting of sanctions.
He also warned Iran that the agreed text “is not final” and that he could decide at some point that “he doesn't like it,” and assured that if Tehran “does not behave,” he will again “drop bombs right in the middle of your heads.”
Trump considered that no one like him has been as "tough" with Iran: "This should have been done by Clinton and by Barack Hussein Obama. It should have been done by Biden, by Bush. It could have been done by many people. This has been happening for 47 years," he said in reference to his predecessors.
The US president, who is participating in the G7 summit in Évian, hinted that he will present the text himself at a press conference before the signing on Friday and will read it “word for word” to avoid misinterpretations.
Last Sunday, June 14, Trump's birthday, the US president announced an agreement with Iran to end the war started by the United States and Israel on February 28.
After months of negotiations and a fragile cessation of hostilities, reached on April 8, the current memorandum would open the door to 60 days of talks on the nuclear agreement to establish lasting peace in the Middle East.
The White House has not yet officially confirmed who will attend the official signing of the agreement, scheduled for this Friday in the tourist complex of Bürgenstock, an exclusive mountain town in central Switzerland. EFE
