Text of interim US-Iran agreement sent to Congress
The document bears signatures on behalf of Iran and the United States, with Pakistan signing as witness and mediator
The White House provided a copy of the interim U.S.-Iran agreement to the U.S. Congress on Thursday, according to a copy of the document seen by Reuters, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an interim deal with Tehran to end the war.
The terms listed in the document to Congress matched the details of the interim U.S.-Iran agreement read out by a U.S. official on Wednesday.
The document, titled "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America", begins with a declaration of an immediate and permanent end to military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon.
The document also confirmed that the U.S. would fully end its naval blockade on Iranian ports within 30 days and Iran would ensure safe passage of commercial vessels at no charge in the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days.
Washington and Tehran commit to negotiating a final deal within 60 days, and they can extend the time frame by mutual agreement, the document showed.
