Iran US Secret Deal: Is any secret MoU really close between America and Iran? What are the major issues involved in this? What big announcement has Iran made regarding the Strait of Hormuz? Why is Israel losing sleep over this secret deal? Can this deal change the geopolitics of Israel and the Middle East?
US-Iran Secret MoU Inside Story: The biggest and shocking news of this time is coming from the Middle East. There is a big game going on behind the scenes between America and Iran, who have been each other’s sworn enemies for years. Both the countries have come close to a very secret agreement, which has been named ‘Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding’ (Islamabad MoU). Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi himself has revealed the secrets of this secret deal in an interview, which has shaken the markets of the whole world and especially Israel. There are some conditions in this agreement which can change the entire business and war map of the world. However, he has also said that the deal has not been finalized yet and any speculation regarding its content would be premature.
Big claim on Islamabad MoU
According to Arghachi, the ‘Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding’ which is being talked about has now reached very close to its final phase. ‘This agreement has never been closer,’ he wrote on X. However, he also clarified that the complete text will be made public only after it is finalized. Right now the talks are going on in several stages.
What could be included in the US-Iran MoU?
Iran will charge on Hormuz waterway, now ships will not pass free
The most shocking revelation in this deal is regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian Foreign Minister has clearly said that this sea route comes under the jurisdiction of them and Oman. For years, the movement of ships here was absolutely free, but now it will not be so. Now commercial ships and oil tankers passing through here will have to pay taxes. Iran is using it as its biggest weapon (deterrent tool). If this tax is implemented, it is certain that there will be a stir in global trade. About 20 to 30 percent of the world’s crude oil passes through the ‘Strait of Hormuz’. If tax is imposed here, then in the coming days the prices of petrol and diesel may increase in the whole world including India.
America’s promise of ‘no-war’ increases Israel’s tension
There are some very big promises made in this secret agreement (MoU) between America and Iran, which has given Israel sleepless nights. According to reports, under this draft, America has given a written assurance that it will never start a war against Iran nor make threats to it. America will lift its maritime blockade against Iran and the way will be cleared for the release of Iran’s frozen funds worth billions of dollars. Both countries will not interfere in each other’s internal affairs.
end of war in lebanon
Through this agreement, a complete end to the ongoing war on all fronts including Lebanon will be announced. However, Iran has made it clear that it will never leave Lebanon alone and Israel will have to withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon. According to Iranian Foreign Minister Arghachi, it has also been confirmed in this ‘Islamabad MoU’ that talks on reconstruction of Lebanon and the affected areas after the war will take place in the next phase.
Nuclear issue still on hold
The issue of Iran’s nuclear program (urasium enrichment) and complete removal of sanctions has been postponed to the last stage. Iran has made it clear that it will not accept America’s strict nuclear conditions at this stage.
Why is Israel worried?
Israel fears that if this friendship happens between America and Iran, then the international sanctions imposed on Iran will weaken and its power in the Middle East will increase greatly. Iran alleges that Israel is trying its best to break this deal.
When will the US-Iran deal be finalized?
Iran’s Foreign Minister has clarified that this draft has been changed several times during the talks. This agreement has not been completely finalized yet, so speculation on it should be avoided. Iran’s ‘Supreme National Security Council’ is keeping an eye on this entire conversation. Even within Iran, some people are in favor of this deal and some are against it. The final decision will be taken only after everyone’s consent. Iran has also warned America that America has a past record of breaking promises, so if the conditions are not implemented on the ground this time, there will be no further talks.
