Read the 14 Points of the Agreement Between Iran and the U.S.
Read the 14 points of the agreement - Senior American diplomats outlined the 14-point accord between the United States and Iran on Wednesday, sharing the text via a phone briefing with journalists. The officials remained unnamed, keeping their identities confidential. The agreement’s central elements include:
Immediate Cease of Hostilities
Both nations pledged to halt all military activities on every front, encompassing operations in Lebanon, indefinitely. This marks a significant step toward peace, with each party committing to no further conflict or threat of force against the other.
Oil Exports and Maritime Access
Iran is permitted to commence oil exports immediately following the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Additionally, the country will guarantee unobstructed passage for commercial ships for 60 days between the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, without financial costs, in both directions.
Reconstruction and Economic Development
The U.S. and its regional allies will collaborate on a comprehensive plan to rebuild Iran, allocating at least $300 billion for infrastructure and economic recovery. This initiative will be solidified in the final agreement, which is expected to be finalized within a 60-day window, potentially extended by mutual consent.
Nuclear Commitments
Iran confirmed its intention to avoid acquiring nuclear weapons, aligning with the U.S. on this critical issue. Both parties also agreed to address the fate of accumulated enriched uranium through joint negotiations.
Sanctions and Timeline
Penalties imposed on Iran will be lifted according to the agreed timeline, contingent upon nuclear compliance. The final agreement must be signed within 60 days, with an option for extension. President Trump emphasized during a G7 meeting in France that if the deal isn’t completed in that period, military action could resume:
"If it doesn't get done in 60 days, that's all right. We go back to bombing," he stated. "I don't want to do that, because it's so good, but we might have to, because we're never going to let them have a nuclear weapon."
Details of the Agreement
The following provisions were transcribed from the official reading, as CBS News has not reviewed the document directly:
By signing this MOU, the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran, along with their current allies, declare an end to all military campaigns, including those in Lebanon, and commit to not initiating hostilities or using force against one another. The final agreement will affirm this permanent truce and incorporate other provisions from this paragraph.
Both nations agree to respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to avoid meddling in internal affairs. They also commit to concluding the final deal within 60 days, with an extension possible upon mutual agreement.
Upon MOU ratification, the U.S. will begin dismantling its naval blockade of Iran, with full removal scheduled for 30 days. During this time, vessel traffic will mirror pre-war levels as Iran works to restore maritime flow. The U.S. will also withdraw its forces from the vicinity of Iran within 30 days after the final deal is signed.
Iran will coordinate with Oman to ensure safe commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, with the safe passage guarantee valid for 60 days post-signing. The country will remove technical and military barriers, as well as conduct demining efforts, within 30 days. This process will be discussed alongside other Gulf states to define future maritime governance in the region.
Regional partners will finalize the implementation mechanism for the reconstruction plan by the time the final agreement is reached. The U.S. will issue all necessary permissions for financial transactions tied to this initiative.
Finally, the U.S. commits to ending all sanctions against Iran, including those from the UN Security Council, the IAEA Board of Governors, and unilateral American measures, as part of the broader nuclear compliance framework.
