Read the 14-point memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran includes a 60-day ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to a copy of the text obtained by Military Times. It also paves the way for sanctions relief and a $300 billion reconstruction incentive for the Islamic Republic – contingent upon a final deal being agreed.

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance electronically signed the accord Sunday, ahead of a formal ceremony scheduled for Friday in Switzerland. Vance is expected to lead the American delegation alongside special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

The agreement leaves the most difficult points of contention between Washington and Tehran – such as the fate of Iran’s nuclear program – to the next phase of negotiations.

Trump, speaking at the Group of Seven summit in France on Wednesday, warned that any Iranian violation of the terms would spark a renewed U.S. military campaign.

“If they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head,” the commander-in-chief told reporters.

The full text of the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran” is as follows:

据《军事时报》获得的一份备忘录文本显示，美国和伊朗之间的谅解备忘录包括为期60天的停火和重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。该备忘录还为解除对伊朗的制裁以及向伊朗提供3000亿美元的重建资金铺平了道路——但前提是双方最终达成协议。

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普和副总统约翰·迪·万斯周日以电子方式签署了该协议，正式仪式定于周五在瑞士举行。预计万斯将率领美国代表团，成员包括特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和总统女婿贾里德·库什纳。

该协议将华盛顿和德黑兰之间最棘手的争议点——例如伊朗核计划的命运——留待下一阶段的谈判解决。

特朗普周三在法国举行的七国集团峰会上发表讲话时警告说，伊朗任何违反协议条款的行为都将引发美国新一轮军事行动。

“如果他们不听话，我们就会再次向他们的脑袋里扔炸弹，”总司令告诉记者。

《美国与伊朗伊斯兰共和国伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录》全文如下：

美利坚合众国、伊朗伊斯兰共和国及其在当前战争中的盟友，通过签署本谅解备忘录，宣布立即永久停止所有战线（包括黎巴嫩境内战线）的军事行动，并承诺今后不再相互发动任何战争或军事行动，不再相互威胁或使用武力，并确保黎巴嫩的领土完整和主权。最终协议将确认永久停止所有战线（包括黎巴嫩境内战线）的战争，以及本段的其他条款。

美利坚合众国和伊朗伊斯兰共和国承诺尊重彼此的主权和领土完整，并且不干涉彼此的内政。

美国和伊朗伊斯兰共和国承诺在最多 60 天内通过谈判达成最终协议，经双方同意可延长。

本谅解备忘录签署后，美利坚合众国将立即开始解除对伊朗伊斯兰共和国的海上封锁，并消除一切干扰或阻碍，并将在30天内彻底解除海上封锁。在此期间，船只通行量将与伊朗伊斯兰共和国恢复的战前通行量成比例。美利坚合众国还承诺在最终协议达成后30天内将其军队撤出伊朗伊斯兰共和国附近海域。

本谅解备忘录签署后，伊朗伊斯兰共和国将尽最大努力安排商船在波斯湾和阿曼海之间安全通行，为期60天，且免费。商船通行将立即开始，并考虑到清除技术和军事障碍以及伊朗伊斯兰共和国进行排雷的必要性，相关工作将在30天内完成。伊朗伊斯兰共和国将与阿曼苏丹国进行对话，并与其他波斯湾沿岸国家协商，根据适用的国际法和霍尔木兹海峡沿岸国家的主权权利，确定霍尔木兹海峡未来的管理和海上服务。

美国承诺与区域伙伴共同制定一项最终的、双方认可的计划，用于伊朗伊斯兰共和国的重建和经济发展，资金至少为3000亿美元。该计划的实施机制将在60天内作为最终协议的一部分敲定。美国将授予所有相关金融交易所需的许可证、豁免和许可。

作为最终协议的一部分，美利坚合众国承诺按照商定的时间表，终止对伊朗伊斯兰共和国的所有制裁，包括联合国安理会决议、国际原子能机构理事会决议以及所有单方面美国制裁（包括一级和二级制裁）。伊朗伊斯兰共和国和美利坚合众国承认上述制裁终止问题至关重要，并表示有意在谈判中立即讨论这些问题，以期达成共识。

伊朗伊斯兰共和国重申，其不会采购或发展核武器。美利坚合众国和伊朗伊斯兰共和国已同意，将根据第七段所述时间表，通过双方商定的机制解决库存浓缩材料的处置问题，最低限度的方法是在国际原子能机构的监督下进行现场稀释。双方还同意，在最终协议中达成的令人满意的框架基础上，讨论浓缩问题以及与伊朗伊斯兰共和国核需求相关的其他双方商定事项。最终协议将确认本段的规定。美利坚合众国和伊朗伊斯兰共和国承认上述核问题的关键重要性，并表示有意立即在谈判中讨论这些问题，以期就此达成共识。

在最终协议达成之前，美国和伊朗伊斯兰共和国同意维持现状。伊朗伊斯兰共和国将维持其核计划的现状，而美国不会实施任何新的制裁，也不会在该地区部署更多部队。

美国承诺，在本谅解备忘录签署后至制裁终止前，美国财政部将对伊朗原油、石油产品及其衍生品的出口以及所有相关服务（包括银行交易、保险、运输等）发放豁免。

美利坚合众国承诺，本谅解备忘录生效后，将伊朗伊斯兰共和国被冻结或受限的资金和资产全部释放供使用。美利坚合众国和伊朗伊斯兰共和国将在谈判期间就释放这些资金的相关程序达成一致。无论这些资金是以原始账户还是转账方式获得，都应全部用于支付给伊朗伊斯兰共和国中央银行指定的任何最终受益人。美利坚合众国承诺据此颁发所有必要的许可证和授权。

美国和伊朗伊斯兰共和国同意建立一个执行机制，以监督本谅解备忘录的成功实施以及最终协议的未来遵守情况。

签署本谅解备忘录后，在开始实施本谅解备忘录第 1、4、5、10 和 11 条以及持续实施这些措施的前提下，美利坚合众国和伊朗伊斯兰共和国将仅就其他条款开始就最终协议进行谈判。

最终协议将由具有约束力的联合国安理会决议予以认可。
