Mehr News is reporting that the MOU between Iran and the US entails the full lifting of sanctions on oil, petrochemical products, and their derivatives, and the total unfreezing of its funds abroad, with half the frozen $24 billion unfrozen before final negotiations begin.

🇺🇸🇮🇷A senior U.S. official denied Iran's claim that it will get 12 billion dollars from its frozen funds unconditionally before the 60-day negotiations start and called it "a spin"
🇺🇸🇮🇷"This is completely not true. This is a pay for performance deal and no frozen funds will be released without the Iranians inplementing their commitmens", the U.S. official claimed

Someone should let the Israelis, Iranians, and Americans know.
Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.
We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.
With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

HEGSETH: The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, won't seek one, won't buy one, won't have one
BRENNAN: The JCPOA said that too
HEGSETH: But they didn't have the threat of military force the way we do that Iran respects. President Trump led with military might.

تجاوز صهیونیستها به ضاحیه باردیگر نشان داد آمریکا یا ارادهای برای اجرای تعهدات خود ندارد یا توان آن را. با چراغ سبز نشان دادن به رژیم نمیتوانید امتیاز بگیرید. بازی پلیس بد و پلیس خوب قدیمی شده است.
اگر اراده و توان اجرای تعهدات خود را ندارید، سخن گفتن از ادامه مسیر ممکن نیست.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Ghalibaf:
The Zionists' strikes in the Dahiyeh once again demonstrates that the U.S. either lacks the will to fulfill its commitments or the ability to do so.
By giving Israel the green light, you cannot gain concessions. The game of ‘good cop, bad cop’ has grown stale.
If you lack the will and ability to fulfill your commitments, continuing down this path is simply not possible.

Are we really that close to a deal? Iran hasn’t confirmed the timing of the signing… and it’s basically an MoU for a truce while avoiding the hardest issues. Here’s me yapping about the latest:

Didn't need a war to achieve this.

⚡️An Iranian official tells me there are still two outstanding issues on the proposed MOU and depending on the position the U.S. takes on these, an agreement could be signed swiftly. He declined to elaborate on specifics. Iran assesses Trump wants to sign before the G7 summit.

Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency said on Saturday that Iranian officials would not allow any nuclear agreement with the U.S to be signed on Sunday, which coincides with U.S. President Donald Trump’s birthday, suggesting some observers believed Trump may seek to use the occasion as a symbolic and promotional event.
Fars said Iranian negotiators were aware of what it described as the “hidden layers” behind such a move and cited officials’ repeated statements that no final agreement had yet been reached.

We are closer to a peace deal than ever before. With finalisation likely expected in the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal immediately after, followed by technical level talks next week.
We would like to thank United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran for their ongoing commitment during the negotiations, and we extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in the region for their support. We are confident that this historic peace deal will form a strong foundation for lasting peace.

Totally and utterly false.
The UAE is a close ally of both the United States and Israel.
Thank God I spent a decade working in the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of a major global bank, so I know a thing or two about how money moves. There is absolutely no way the UAE could release even a fraction of the amounts being claimed to Iran without the US Treasury knowing about it.
Anyone familiar with international banking, sanctions compliance, correspondent banking, and financial surveillance knows this story simply does not pass the most basic global finance reality check.
