Iran state television has claimed that it obtained a draft framework for an initial memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States aimed at ending recent hostilities and restoring stability in the Gulf region.
According to the report, the unofficial framework outlines preliminary steps that could pave the way for a broader agreement between Tehran and Washington following months of escalating tensions and conflict.
Under the proposed framework, Iran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within one month. In return, the United States would withdraw military forces from Iran’s vicinity and lift the naval blockade imposed during the conflict.
State TV said the draft does not include military vessels and proposes that Iran manage shipping traffic through the strait in coordination with Oman.
The report stressed that the framework remains unofficial and has not yet been finalised. Iranian authorities reportedly stated that Tehran would not implement any measures without “tangible verification” of commitments.
According to the broadcaster, if both sides reach a final agreement within 60 days, the deal could potentially be approved as a binding resolution by the United Nations Security Council.
The proposed memorandum follows indirect talks initiated after the outbreak of war earlier this year. The negotiations are reportedly being mediated primarily by Pakistan between Tehran and Washington.
Regional tensions sharply escalated after clashes between Iran and Israel intensified, with missile and drone exchanges disrupting shipping routes in the Gulf and drawing direct U.S. military involvement.
The conflict raised concerns about a broader regional war and significantly affected maritime trade and energy security across the Middle East.
No official confirmation regarding the reported framework has yet been issued by the United States or international mediators.
