Text of interim US-Iran agreement sent to Congress

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.

The document bears signatures on behalf ⁠of ​Iran and the United States, ​with Pakistan signing as witness and mediator.—Reuters
