There is a draft MoU now that has been accepted by both Iran and Pakistan, from what I am hearing.

It focuses on permanently ending the war, but does not mention nuclear matters at all until a later stage and after sitgnificant U.S. concessions.

Ball is in America’s court.

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 According to Al-Jazeera, some details of the alleged MoU:

– A permanent end to the war in the entire region, including Lebanon.

– U.S. lifts the naval blockade.

– Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz.

– American military forces leave the region.

Nuclear matters to be discussed at a later stage.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NOTE: As they say, ‘the devil is in the details’, and that’s most certainly the case with this Memorandum of Understanding

Is there a practical mechanism to ensure U.S. forces leave the region, or is it just a vague committment?

Will there be a release of frozen funds? If yes, how many — and when will they be released?

Will the U.S. grant Iran temporary oil sanctions waivers for the duration of the remaining negotiations?

But perhaps most importantly, it will be key whether Iran’s reopening of Hormuz includes the collection of tolls and abiding by the Iranian maritime traffic separation scheme.

If Iran is allowed to collect tolls and ships have to get Iranian permission to pass the Strait, that’s a major American concession and practically grants Iran sovereignty over the Strait.

But if Iran has agreed to temporarily shelf the idea of toll collection, this MoU is less favorable. As I said, details matter a lot, this all means nothing yet.

I urge everyone to exercise caution.
