[88059] The Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran: Political and Security Storm
The text of a memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran has been published, including a multi-front ceasefire and the lifting of sanctions, a move sparking harsh criticism in Israel over American capitulation.
The Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran: All the Details
Following revelations by international news agencies and reports on Telegram, the text of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the US and Iran, sometimes referred to as the "Islamabad Memorandum," has been exposed. According to reports from channels such as Abu Ali Express and Amit Segal, the agreement includes 14 clauses declaring an immediate and permanent cessation of military activity on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and a mutual commitment to refrain from hostile actions.
Main Points of the Agreement:
- Economy and Sanctions: The US commits to lifting all sanctions on Iran, including those of the UN and IAEA, and to formulate an economic recovery plan amounting to $300 billion. According to Abu Ali Express, this involves a massive injection of funds into the coffers of the Iranian regime, including the release of frozen assets and immediate exemptions for oil exports.
- Nuclear and Security: Iran declares that it will not produce nuclear weapons and will dilute enriched materials under IAEA supervision, while maintaining the current status quo in the nuclear program until the signing of a final agreement. According to Iran News, Iran commits to ensuring free passage in the Strait of Hormuz.
Reactions in Israel and the US
The agreement has met with sharp criticism among figures identified with the Israeli and American right wing. Mike Pence, the former Vice President, attacked the agreement and called it an "appeasement policy" in the style of Obama, while noting the fact that it contains no commitment to dismantle the missile program or stop support for terrorist organizations. Yair Goldblatt warned that Israel should not surrender to these dictates, and that this is an "important tactical victory for the Axis of Resistance."
The Habithonistim movement defined the memorandum as a "problematic document detached from logic" that constitutes a weakening of the American position. Conversely, Senator Lindsey Graham noted that signing the memorandum might be useful for creating regional economic stability, adding that he does not see "many downsides to the attempt." Official sources in Iran, according to Iran News, are celebrating the agreement as proof of their control over the rules of the game in the Middle East.
