The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the United States has never been closer to finalization, aiming to formally end the war on all fronts.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced Friday that the Pakistani-mediated agreement will establish a comprehensive cessation of hostilities, explicitly extending to Lebanon.
The proposed two-page document contains fourteen interconnected clauses that mandate absolute mutual respect for state sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs.
For the first time in nearly five decades, the United States explicitly recognizes and states its respect for the sovereignty of Iran.
Tehran maintains that a full cessation of hostilities requires Israel to withdraw completely from occupied areas located in southern Lebanon.
The diplomatic framework establishes a strict two-stage process, initiating with the remote, digital signing of the core memorandum within days.
Subsequent stage two negotiations will span sixty days to address critical disputes regarding international sanctions relief and nuclear enrichment levels.
Araghchi deferred the volatile issue of uranium stockpiles to the second stage because initial American demands were entirely unacceptable.
Iran demands that any future management of its high-level sixty percent enriched uranium must occur through dilution inside domestic facilities.
Furthermore, the accord requires the complete lifting of the maritime blockade and the unconditional release of all frozen Iranian assets.
Future maritime traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz will be managed jointly by Iran and Oman, alongside partner consultations with China.
Araghchi warned that recent external threats create psychological pressure, but they will only serve to push back a final peace agreement.
