The White House denied an Iranian TV report about the existence of a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran.

“This report from Iranian government-controlled media is untrue and the published memorandum of understanding is a complete fabrication. No one should believe what Iranian state media is disseminating,” White House Rapid Response social media account X said.

Iranian TV channel IRIB claimed that the “preliminary” memorandum provides for the withdrawal of US military forces from the Iranian region and the lifting of the naval blockade of Iranian ports. In exchange, Tehran undertakes to restore pre-war volumes of commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz within a month. The management of civil shipping in the strait will be carried out by Iran jointly with Oman; These agreements do not apply to military vessels.
