Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, told state media about an understanding with the US: "A memorandum of understanding between us and America will probably be signed in the next few days." He added: "The signing of the memorandum of understanding will be done digitally and remotely after passing through the final stages of negotiations, which will be announced." @VahidOOnLine Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, announced Friday evening on a live television program that no agreement has been signed with the US yet and claimed that Iran's nuclear file has been postponed to the second and final phase of this agreement. In his interview with Iranian government television, he said the potential agreement with the United States includes two phases and "we moved the nuclear issue to the second phase." This comes while an hour earlier, a senior US official told reporters that according to the agreement, Iran's enriched uranium is supposed to be destroyed on Iranian soil and then transferred outside Iran. However, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, referring to the fact that the result of negotiations is a "14-article memorandum," announced that its contents will be revealed after finalization. In his interview, Iran's Foreign Minister announced that according to the Islamic Republic's decision, "the future of the Strait of Hormuz and its management will not be like the past" and claimed that Iran and Oman will publish a joint statement regarding the management of this waterway. He continued by acknowledging that according to international law, collecting tolls from ships in the Strait of Hormuz is not possible and added: "But service fees will be received and this will be confirmed in negotiations." Araghchi announced that according to the agreement, the United States' maritime blockade against Iranian ports will be completely lifted and Iran's blocked assets will be released. US officials have repeatedly denied the release of these assets. JD Vance, US Vice President, emphasized hours earlier that after signing the agreement, no financial resources will be made available to Iran. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Four informed sources told Reuters that the United Arab Emirates has agreed to release billions of dollars for Iran's government. Reuters reported that this move represents Abu Dhabi's tactical shift after weeks of attacks by Iran's government against this wealthy Persian Gulf Arab country during the war between America and Israel against the Islamic Republic. Two regional sources told Reuters that the UAE has agreed to release a total of $10 billion, of which more than $3 billion has been paid so far. Two other sources familiar with this agreement stated the total amount in question as $20 billion and added that this action was agreed upon in exchange for stopping Iran's government attacks on the United Arab Emirates. One of these sources also said that the first portion worth $3 billion has so far been made available to Iran's government. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Fars News Agency wrote in criticism of Araghchi's tweet: Araghchi not only failed to directly reject Trump's claim about the "fabricated nature" of the published content, but by requesting media to avoid speculation, he actually created an atmosphere that could be interpreted as indirect confirmation of the incorrectness of some news reports. Is his position a kind of retreat or coordination with Trump's narrative? This comes at a time when Trump claims Iran has privately apologized 📡 @VahidOnline

A senior American official said Friday in talks with reporters, referring to Washington's expectation that an agreement with Iran will be signed in the coming days, that one of its provisions is the destruction and removal of Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles. This American official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated: "Our negotiating team has put us in a very good position, but we have to see what happens. We haven't completely reached the finish line yet, but we're very close to it." He said the agreed provisions achieve the main objectives of Donald Trump, the US President, and "ultimately puts the situation in a very, very favorable position." This official added that the provisions of what is called a "memorandum of understanding" include reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting America's blockade against Iran's ports. According to him, Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpiles will also be destroyed on site and then removed from Iran. This official added that the agreement provisions also include an inspection regime to ensure its implementation will be verifiable and binding in the long term. @ VahidHeadline posts from NewsNation White House correspondent, machine translation: 🚨 Now a senior Trump administration official is providing more details about the proposed agreement with Iran. They expect this agreement to be signed within "the next few days." It's not one hundred percent certain, but there's probably an 80 to 85 percent chance it will be signed in the next few days. This agreement achieves the "main objectives" that the President set for this mission. First, it reopens the strait and lifts the blockade. 🔻 Dismantling Iran's nuclear program. US acquisition of enriched materials: both destroyed on site and removed from the country. Iranians will no longer finance violence in the region. An inspection system that ensures this is a long-term and enforceable long-term commitment. 🔻 Question about "the volume of assets that will be released if Iran complies." According to the senior administration official: when Iranians "fulfill their commitments, they can receive benefits in return for this performance." 🔻 Second question: what has changed? What has made this agreement more tangible than before? -"We've reached a stage where we've brought the text to a point where we feel good about it." -"We have the text of a memorandum of understanding that we think both sides feel good about." -"We feel Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz has been weakened." 🔻 Senior administration official: "What guarantee do we have that Iranians will stick to their part of the agreement? We give no benefits unless they stick to their part of the agreement." This senior administration official says about the memorandum of understanding with Iran: "We've brought the text to a point that both sides like." According to the senior administration official, if they can stick to it, they can reach an agreement within "the next few days." Technical negotiations will take 60 days. Has Iran's Supreme Leader approved this agreement as you've described it? Senior administration official says: "People on the civilian and military side... have testified/assured that the Supreme Leader is satisfied with their current position in negotiations." KellieMeyerNews Senior administration official tells me that in the past 24 hours, everyone from Vance to Witkoff and Kushner and Trump, along with Heggseth, Rubio, Wiles and Ratcliffe, have been involved in negotiations regarding Iran.

Israel Katz, Israel's Foreign Minister, announced on Friday, June 12th, through a message on social media platform X that while the US President is moving toward an agreement based on Washington's interests and the shared goal with Tel Aviv of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, Israel has greater expectations. Katz emphasized: "We expect the US President to maintain this principle and other conditions regarding missiles and proxy groups." Referring to how joint heavy strikes have set back Iran's capabilities for years, he added: "Israel must ensure it retains the ability to act independently in the future to prevent Iran's nuclearization; to this end, Benjamin Netanyahu and I have given the army the necessary preparedness orders." Israel's Foreign Minister also stated as a key lesson from the October 7th events that the country will absolutely not withdraw from security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, and the army continues to defend the borders against jihadist threats from the Hermon Heights to the depths of Gaza. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

CNN reported, citing a senior Trump administration official, that the agreement with the Islamic Republic includes dismantling Iran's nuclear program and ending Tehran's financial support for terrorist groups. CNN, quoting the senior Trump administration official, added that the Islamic Republic has agreed to "dismantling the nuclear program, destroying and removing nuclear materials, not releasing assets until commitments are implemented, keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, and stopping financial support for terrorist groups."

Amirhossein Sabeti, member of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, wrote: According to information obtained, the text of the possible agreement is worse than the JCPOA/ Such an agreement will neither bring economic relief nor prevent war. Monday night I attended a public gathering in Mojtahedi Square in Torsht and explained that the enemy seeks to destroy Iran, whether through war or through negotiations, and those who still haven't understood the enemy's goal and think they can put the enemy in its place by reaching an agreement with America, haven't even understood the basics of recent events. Then I said that according to information we have obtained so far about the text of the possible agreement, a weaker agreement than the JCPOA is underway in which the Leadership's red lines have not been observed, and it will neither cause economic relief nor ensure the country's security. Finally, I also explained that if we want to preserve our security, we must be more prepared for war than ever, otherwise with the gesture of negotiation and dialogue and agreeing to any deal at any cost, the country's security will also be compromised in the long run. 📡 @VahidOnline

The Washington Post reported that Qatar conducted secret negotiations with the Islamic Republic during Iran's war to keep its gas facilities safe from Tehran's attacks. In response, Qatar denied this report and accused the Washington Post of trying to damage Doha's mediating role. The Washington Post emphasized in its report that Qatar's behind-the-scenes actions reveal how Persian Gulf countries secretly keep themselves away from the damages of the region's biggest war in the past 20 years. The report, referring to the Islamic Republic's missile attack on Qatar's Ras Laffan gas facilities in March last year, stated that this attack destroyed parts of the world's largest natural gas production complex that supplies nearly one-fifth of the world's gas. This attack also endangered multi-billion dollar contracts with China and other customers and darkened the prospect of an early end to the war by dragging Qatar, one of the key mediators between America and the Islamic Republic, into the conflict. According to the Washington Post, this attack also had another hidden consequence. According to Middle Eastern security officials and Western officials with access to confidential information, this attack also thwarted Qatar's covert efforts to keep its gas complex, known as "Ras Laffan," off the Islamic Republic's target list. A senior regional security official told the newspaper that Qatar proposed something like a "secret agreement" - an agreement whereby Doha would commit to using its influence over gas supply to accelerate the end of the war, and in return asked only one commitment from the Islamic Republic: "You will not attack us." Another official with access to the same information also told the Washington Post that Qatar's message to Tehran was: "You will achieve your goals without attacking us too." According to these officials, Qatar could not obtain a commitment from the Islamic Republic. However, the process that followed showed that the possibility of an implicit understanding remained in place at least temporarily. On the third day of the war, when the Islamic Republic fired hundreds of missiles and armed drones at targets throughout the Persian Gulf, Qatar shut down the Ras Laffan complex. At that time, Qatar declared the reason for this action as "military attacks against operational facilities." Satellite images later examined by the Washington Post showed no clear signs of damage at Ras Laffan. Qatari officials' statements also intensified concerns in global energy markets, including a warning from Qatar's energy minister who said this war "will bring the world's economies to their knees." In response to Washington Post questions, Qatar rejected any secret agreement with the Islamic Republic and said the decision to stop production at Ras Laffan was made solely due to the threat of attacks and concern for workers and infrastructure that is considered the lifeline of this country's economy. ... iranintl 📡 @VahidOnline

Mahmoud Naboyan, a parliamentary representative of the Islamic Republic, criticized the draft of a potential agreement between the United States and the Islamic Republic, describing it as similar to the JCPOA and "pure damage." He said: "Talk of victory with this vague and damaging text is completely wrong." Naboyan, criticizing the provisions outlined in the draft agreement, said that under this agreement, the Islamic Republic would not have the right to produce nuclear weapons. He also added that the fate of enriched materials has become dependent on America's satisfaction, and all issues related to the nuclear program must be subject to negotiation.

Etemad newspaper inside Iran, citing a media member of the Islamic Republic's negotiating delegation, and Axios website abroad, citing a diplomat from a mediating country and an American official, published reports on Friday, June 12th, about the possible content of a memorandum of understanding between Iran and America. These two reports are somewhat close to each other, but Etemad's report, despite having more details, is closer to the Iranian government's viewpoint, while Axios's text has reported some matters as contingent on future negotiations, such as the suspension of sanctions, which Axios says is conditional on Tehran's compliance with the memorandum. Etemad newspaper, citing a "member of Iran's negotiating delegation media committee," speaks of a 14-article memorandum that emphasizes "reopening the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days with Iranian arrangements" and "suspension of sanctions on oil sales, petrochemical products and derivatives, and Iran's full access to its financial resources." Meanwhile, Axios's report states that the Strait of Hormuz "will be reopened immediately without receiving tolls" and "within 30 days" the number of ships passing through this strait will return to pre-war levels. In response to this action, America will also remove the naval blockade of Iranian ports, which has a significant impact on Iran's oil exports. Axios, citing its diplomatic source, writes: "No date has been set for the suspension of sanctions, and the suspension is conditional on the implementation of the agreement [by Iran]." According to Axios, the suspension of sanctions will increase when Iran "implements the memorandum and shows good faith in subsequent negotiations." Another difference between the two reports regarding the possible content relates to whether Iran's blocked assets will be released or not. Etemad, citing its source, says: "Release of $24 billion of Iran's blocked funds during the 60-day period of final negotiations. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before negotiations begin." Meanwhile, Donald Trump had previously specifically opposed releasing Iran's money before negotiations or reaching an agreement, and generally has particular sensitivity to this due to his history with Barack Obama regarding the JCPOA agreement. Axios's report remains silent on this matter and writes that it is "unclear" whether the memorandum text contains information about Iran's money or not. Regarding Iran's nuclear program, Axios has written that the memorandum will include "commitments" from Iran, most importantly that Iran will never seek nuclear weapons and will resolve the deadlock regarding enriched uranium, two issues that Trump is focused on. According to Axios, Trump has agreed that one option for solving this problem is diluting uranium inside Iran "under the supervision of UN experts," a point that the New York Times had also previously reported. Etemad's source has only referred to these issues as follows: "60 days of negotiations to reach a final agreement based on nuclear issues and complete lifting of primary and secondary sanctions, US sanctions, and UN Security Council resolutions and IAEA Board of Governors resolutions" and "reiterating Iran's commitment in the NPT regarding non-production of nuclear weapons." In this part of Etemad newspaper's report, the fate of enriched materials is not mentioned. Overall, according to Axios's report, the memorandum, if signed, will extend the war ceasefire, including in Lebanon, for 60 days - two months during which Tehran and Washington are supposed to hold nuclear negotiations. As Axios has written, Iran and America have agreed on the memorandum text, and this text has also been confirmed by high-ranking officials in the Islamic Republic, but "probably does not yet have Mojtaba Khamenei's confirmation." Therefore, currently, the statement by Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson that the memorandum is not yet finalized is closer to reality. While Trump had spoken of signing the memorandum possibly on Saturday and Sunday, according to Axios, four US Air Force planes flew on Thursday to transport equipment for JD Vance's trip, Trump's deputy, to Geneva, Switzerland to participate in the signing ceremony "in the coming days." @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Mehr News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Propaganda Organization, published new details on Friday, June 12th, citing a "source close to the Iranian negotiating team" regarding a draft 14-article memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States. According to this report, Tehran commits not to pursue nuclear weapons development, and in return, will receive some economic concessions including facilitated oil exports and consideration for releasing part of its frozen assets. Mehr reported from this official that after the potential signing of this memorandum, more comprehensive negotiations will begin for 60 days, examining more complex issues including uranium enrichment levels, enriched uranium stockpiles, and details of sanctions relief. According to this report, the 14 axes of the potential memorandum between Tehran and Washington include the following: 1- Permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts including Lebanon 2- US commitment to non-interference in Iran's internal affairs 3- Complete lifting of naval blockade within 30 days 4- US commitment to withdraw its forces from Iran's periphery 5- Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days by Iran 6- Suspension of sanctions on oil sales, petrochemical products and derivatives, and Iran's full access to its financial resources. 7- Requirement for reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300 billion by the US and its allies 8- 60 days of negotiations to reach a final agreement based on nuclear issues and complete cancellation of primary and secondary sanctions by the US, UN Security Council resolutions, and IAEA Board of Governors resolutions 9- Iran's commitment to continue membership in the NPT based on non-production of nuclear weapons 10- During the negotiation period, the US commits not to add forces in the region and will not impose new sanctions. 11- Release of $24 billion of Iran's frozen assets during the 60-day final negotiation period. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before negotiations begin. 12- Establishment of monitoring mechanism for implementing the potential agreement 13- Approval of the final agreement by UN Security Council resolution Mehr reported from this "informed official" that in the final clause of the potential agreement, both sides understand that final negotiations will not begin before releasing half of Iran's frozen assets, suspending oil sanctions, and lifting the naval blockade. Donald Trump, the US President, said Thursday evening that as soon as the agreement is signed, the naval blockade will end and the Strait of Hormuz will open. According to Mehr's report, the final agreement will be "solely on the fate of enriched uranium and enrichment, sanctions relief, and Iran's economic reconstruction program," and discussion about the missile program and support for proxy groups "has been definitively removed from the agenda." @VahidOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

According to Politico's report, shortly after Donald Trump, the US President, announced in a message Thursday morning that he intended to "target Iran very hard tonight," leaders from Persian Gulf and South Asian countries made last-minute calls to him to change his mind. They assured him that a preliminary agreement that would pave the way for more detailed negotiations is actually within reach.

According to a senior U.S. defense official, commercial ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz was clearly threatened Thursday night after the Islamic Republic of Iran fired drones toward ships passing through this strategic waterway. According to Fox News, this official said: "It appears the Islamic Republic attempted tonight to attack commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. forces shot down two Iranian one-way attack drones." The official said that despite these attacks, maritime traffic through the strait continues. This development came hours after Donald Trump said an agreement with the Islamic Republic might be signed within days and the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened as part of this agreement. Following the sound of several explosions heard along Iran's southern coasts, the Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, earlier reported citing "local sources" in Bandar Abbas that Islamic Republic forces prevented a tanker that had entered the restricted area of the Strait of Hormuz "without coordination" from passing through. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic said in a phone interview that despite Qatar and Pakistan's activity as mediators, the diplomatic process of negotiations has been affected due to American actions. Ismail Baghaei emphasized that the major part of the agreement text has been finalized, but due to America's contradictory positions, it has caused turbulence and disruption in reaching an agreement. The Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in this interview: "Claims about the time and place of the agreement are merely media speculation, and until the relevant authorities of the system reach a final conclusion about each component of the agreement text, talking about the form of signing and its location is useless." Mr. Baghaei noted that the agreement text was clear to us from the beginning, but the American side kept raising unreasonable demands each time, and once again emphasized that Iran will not back down from its principled positions and red lines under pressure and threats. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline
