Read the full text of the leaked 14-point US-Iran draft agreement

A document purporting to be the text of the US-Iran framework deal to be signed in Switzerland on Friday, initially published in Arabic-language media, has gained much attention on Wednesday despite not yet being officially confirmed by either Washington or Tehran.

The 14-point draft circulated at G7 meetings in France, which sees Tehran committing not to build nuclear weapons while Washington pledges $300 billion for Iran's reconstruction, is also unlikely to be the final version formalised at a ceremony in Switzerland on Friday.

US President Donald Trump appeared irritated by the leaks, telling reporters on the sidelines of the summit that "no one knows what it (the deal) is, but it will be very strong."

He also warned that if Iran does not comply with the terms, the US would get "back to bombing".

Here is the full text of the draft agreement that US officials have so far downplayed.

  1. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States, together with their allies in the current war, declare upon the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding an immediate and permanent end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, and undertake that from now on they will not launch any hostile action against each other and will refrain from the threat or use of force against each other. The final agreement will confirm the provisions of this Article and the remaining Articles.
  2. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States undertake to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to refrain from interfering in each other's internal affairs.

  2. Immediately upon the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, the United States shall lift the naval blockade and prevent any interference or obstruction against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and restore traffic within a maximum of 30 days to its full capacity; the traffic of ships shall be proportional to the pre-war volume of traffic on the part of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The United States also undertakes to withdraw its forces from the surrounding areas within 30 days after the final agreement.
  3. Upon signing this Memorandum of Understanding, the Islamic Republic of Iran will immediately take steps to ensure that the movement of merchant ships from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa is resumed within 30 days to the pre-war volume, taking into account the need for the removal of technical obstacles and the neutralisation of mines by Iran.
  4. The United States undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion. The implementation mechanism of this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days.

The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States have agreed that the fate of enriched material and the fate of all other mutually agreed nuclear-related issues, including Iran’s nuclear needs, will be adequately addressed in a final agreement; the final agreement will confirm the provisions of this Article.
  3. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States agree that, pending a final agreement, they will maintain the status quo: Iran will maintain the status quo on its nuclear program, and the United States will not impose new sanctions on Iran or strengthen its forces in the region.
