Iran Publishes Text Claiming $12 Billion Immediate Release Under New Agreement

Iranian state media published what it described as the text of a recent agreement. The document states that $12 billion will be released immediately. Nuclear program matters are listed for later discussion. The published text contains no provisions requiring dismantlement of facilities or disposal of enriched uranium.

The same document states Iran retains the ability to charge for passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. officials announced terms that differ on nearly every point listed in the Iranian version. The Situation Room convened to review the documents. No independent confirmation of either version has been issued. The two accounts differ on payment timing, nuclear obligations, and transit rights. The gap between the two descriptions has not been resolved.
