A leaked 14-point document purports to outline a comprehensive framework agreement between the United States and Iran. The draft indicates Tehran has pledged never to produce nuclear weapons and will immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz. In exchange, Washington reportedly agreed to lift sanctions and support a $300 billion reconstruction fund.
Neither government has officially confirmed the document's authenticity, though US President Donald Trump acknowledged a signed memorandum while warning that non-compliance would trigger renewed military action. The draft mandates an immediate end to hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon, and requires full restoration of maritime traffic within 30 days following mine neutralization.
Financial terms in the leaked text commit regional partners to financing Iran’s economic rehabilitation and unfreezing assets. Despite this, President Trump stated the US would not contribute directly to the fund. European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, have proposed a maritime mission to ensure safe passage through the strait without tolls.
The agreement reportedly includes mutual commitments to respect sovereignty, signaling a halt to US regime change objectives. However, significant diplomatic friction remains. Israel has stated it was not consulted and intends to continue independent military operations. Former National Security Adviser John Bolton criticized the framework as detrimental to global security, arguing it fails to guarantee the dismantling of Iran's nuclear program.
G7 leaders have emphasized that freedom of navigation must be fully restored. While Vice President JD Vance is expected to attend the formalization ceremony in Lucerne, technical details remain under negotiation. The final agreement is slated for approval through a binding UN Security Council resolution to provide international guarantees against future attacks.
