![A Look at the Text of the Agreement Between the United States and Iran.
A senior U.S. official disclosed what the official said was the full text of the deal between the United States and Iran to cease hostilities, open the Strait of Hormuz and start nuclear talks.
The text of the agreement, as read out loud on a conference call with reporters on Wednesday, is below. The official spoke on condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the White House.
Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran have jointly agreed in good faith on such-and-such a date on the following.
Paragraph 1
The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran and their allies in the current war by signing this M.O.U. declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and undertake from now on not to initiate any war or any military operation against each other, and to refrain [from] the threat or use of force against each other and ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. The final deal will confirm the permanent termination of the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and other provisions of this paragraph.
The references to Lebanon here amount to remarkable rejections by the United States of Israel’s concerns about the threat posed by Hezbollah, the Iran-aligned militia group based in Lebanon. Israel has signaled it does not feel bound by any Lebanon-related agreements in the U.S.-Iran talks. But the language will give Iran the means to pressure President Trump over any future Israeli attacks in Lebanon, and over Israel’s occupation of what it calls a “security zone” in the country’s south.
