Tasnim described the document as a draft that has not yet been finalized or signed by either government. S. officials have confirmed or commented on the existence of such a memorandum.
U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil exports have been in place for several years and were tightened after the United States withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement. The reported condition linking sanctions relief to an end of fighting in Lebanon ties the draft to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
Tasnim is an Iranian state-affiliated outlet whose reporting reflects official Iranian positions. No independent verification of the draft text has been published by other news organizations.
