US Rejects Israel’s Request to Review Iran Memorandum: Report

Manila: The United States has rejected an Israeli request to review a memorandum of understanding reached with Iran, leaving Israel unaware of the agreement's full details, as reported by Israeli media on Tuesday.

According to Anadolu Agency, Channel 12 reported that Israeli officials had sought access to the memorandum from Washington, but their request was denied. The broadcaster noted that Israel "still does not know the full details of the agreement," which is slated to be signed in Switzerland on Friday.

A source familiar with the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity, informed Anadolu that Tel Aviv had not made "any such request" to US negotiators. Meanwhile, a US official described the report as "inaccurate," asserting that Washington has maintained "close coordination with our regional partners, including Israel, throughout the negotiations."

The report indicated that US President Donald Trump has pledged to review the document "word by word," but has not clarified when its content will be made public. While official details of the US-Iran agreement remain undisclosed, Iranian media reports suggest that the memorandum contains 14 provisions.

These reported provisions include an Israeli military withdrawal from southern Lebanon, the lifting of restrictions on navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, the removal of sanctions on Iran, the release of frozen Iranian assets, and a US-backed reconstruction plan for Iran. Trump has also mentioned that the agreement is expected to be signed in Switzerland on Friday, which would lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, neither Washington nor Tehran has publicly released the full text of the memorandum.

This reported agreement surfaces amid ongoing hostilities that began after Israel and the US launched military operations against Iran on February 28. Israeli forces continue to occupy territory in southern Lebanon, conducting regular military operations across the country despite international calls for de-escalation.
