The agreement calls for an immediate and permanent end to military operations by both sides. Iranian state media released a list of 14 points that it said formed the core of the deal. One point calls for the complete lifting of a U.S. naval blockade within 30 days.
The list includes a U.S. commitment to non-interference in Iran's internal affairs. It also calls for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from areas around Iran. Another point requires the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under arrangements involving Iran. Iranian state media said support for regional proxies had been removed from the agenda.
They said the sanctions relief is tied to negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. The officials added that the blockade would be lifted and that normal traffic levels in the Strait of Hormuz were expected to return within 30 days once mines are cleared. They noted that full details of the memorandum would be released after formal signing scheduled for Geneva.
