BUTOLPOST – The Iranian government has officially released the complete contents of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) agreed with the United States. The document containing 14 points is the basis for a permanent end to the war as well as paving the way for the lifting of economic sanctions against Tehran.
Based on documents published by the IRNA news agency, Thursday (18/6/2026), Iran and the United States agreed to stop all military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. Both countries also committed to never starting another war, avoiding threats or use of force, and guaranteeing Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The MoU also emphasizes that the two countries will respect each other’s sovereignty and not interfere in each other’s domestic affairs.
This peace agreement gives a maximum of 60 days for both parties to negotiate a final peace agreement which can be extended based on mutual agreement.
In the military aspect, the United States promised to gradually end the naval blockade against Iran within 30 days. Washington also committed to withdrawing troops around Iranian territory once a final agreement is reached.
In return, Iran will guarantee safe passage for merchant ships crossing the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman for 60 days free of charge. Tehran will also coordinate with Oman and the Persian Gulf coastal countries to manage shipping in the Strait of Hormuz in accordance with international law.
One of the most striking points in the MoU is the commitment of the United States and its regional partners to prepare funds of at least 300 billion US dollars or around IDR 5,353 trillion to support Iran’s economic reconstruction and development.
In addition, Washington promised to end all sanctions against Iran, including unilateral sanctions from the United States and those related to UN Security Council resolutions according to a schedule that will be agreed upon in follow-up negotiations.
In the energy sector, the US will also provide various exceptions so that Iran’s exports of crude oil and energy products can return to normal, including opening access to banking transactions, insurance and international transportation.
The United States government also agreed to disburse Iranian funds and assets that have been frozen so that they can be used again by the Iranian Central Bank according to a mechanism that will be jointly formulated.
On the nuclear issue, Iran has reiterated that it will not develop or possess nuclear weapons. The two countries agreed to resolve the issue of enriched uranium stocks under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), while maintaining the status quo of their nuclear programs during the negotiation process.
To ensure that all agreements are implemented, the two countries will establish a joint monitoring mechanism. Later, the final peace agreement will be strengthened through a binding United Nations (UN) Security Council resolution.
The MoU announced by Tehran is one of the most important diplomatic documents in relations between Iran and the United States, because it not only ends the military conflict, but also opens up opportunities for normalizing economic and political relations between the two countries after decades of tension.
