Skip next section Iran state media reports draft deal terms with US 06/12/2026 June 12, 2026 Iran state media reports draft deal terms with US Iran has reportedly outlined a draft memorandum of understanding with the United States that would ease tensions and reshape regional security.
However, an official response from Tehran has yet to be confirmed. The proposal includes sanctions relief and military de-escalation, while leaving key issues like missiles off the table, according to the Mehr News Agency, a semi-official news agency by the government of Iran.
Mehr said the draft includes a US commitment to lift sanctions, withdraw forces from around Iran, and end a naval blockade. The agreement reportedly also envisages the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the cancellation of oil sanctions, and the release of Iran's frozen funds.
Final negotiations are expected to focus on nuclear and economic issues, Mehr said, but this would exclude Iran's missile program. The draft still requires approval by relevant authorities.
