Leaked US-Iran Draft Promises Sanctions Relief
A leaked draft memorandum on a proposed US-Iran agreement says Tehran would pledge not to pursue nuclear weapons, while Washington would offer phased sanctions relief and support for a major economic financing package.
US Iran Deal Draft Mentions No Nuclear Bomb
The reported draft says Iran would reaffirm that it will not seek or develop nuclear weapons. However, several technical issues linked to Iran’s nuclear programme would be left for further negotiations.
The draft reportedly allows a 60-day period for detailed talks on nuclear limits, inspections and related compliance measures. This means the broader framework is not yet a final nuclear agreement, but a roadmap for further negotiations.
Sanctions Relief And Frozen Assets
The memorandum reportedly proposes phased sanctions relief if Iran complies with the agreed conditions. These measures may include easing restrictions on oil exports, allowing Tehran access to some frozen assets and suspending new sanctions during the negotiation period.
The sanctions relief is expected to be tied to Iran’s cooperation on nuclear restrictions, regional de-escalation and maritime security. The draft also refers to steps aimed at restoring commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
$300 Billion Financing For Iran
The leaked proposal also refers to a $300 billion financing mechanism for Iran’s reconstruction and economic development. The fund is described as a private-sector-backed arrangement rather than direct US taxpayer-funded aid.
The financing plan is likely to face political scrutiny because critics may question whether economic incentives could strengthen Iran without firm nuclear guarantees. Supporters are expected to present it as a way to secure de-escalation, restore trade and reduce the risk of renewed conflict.
