US and Iran Remain Divided on Hormuz Deal as White House Rejects Tehran TV Report
The White House said the circulated memorandum is a fabrication as officials weigh a framework that would trade uranium concessions for sanctions relief.
- On Wednesday, the White House called Iran's draft peace proposal a 'complete fabrication,' denying Iranian state television claims that the United States proposed lifting its naval blockade and withdrawing forces from the Gulf region.
- Iranian state television and Mizan news agency reported a purported Memorandum of Understanding proposing sequential U.S. military withdrawal and restoration of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within one month.
- Under the reported agreement, Tehran would surrender its enriched uranium stockpile for sanctions relief during a 60-day negotiation period; President Donald Trump said hours after Tuesday strikes he expected Iran to hand over the material for international destruction.
