Full Text of 14-Point US-Iran Ceasefire MOU Published Revealing Sweeping Sanctions Relief and 300 Billion Dollar Reconstruction Fund

BLUFBy front-loading sanctions relief and the $300 billion reconstruction fund at signing, the MOU's deferral architecture makes a final agreement resolving enrichment and missiles unlikely before August 18.

Bloomberg published the full text of the 14-point draft MOU digitally signed Sunday, which declares an immediate end to hostilities on all fronts including Lebanon and sets formal signing for June 19 in Switzerland 12. The document commits the US to lifting its naval blockade, issuing immediate waivers for Iranian oil exports, and lifting all US, UNSC, and IAEA sanctions on a negotiated timeline 23. It also pledges at least $300 billion for Iran's rehabilitation; Reuters cited a source with direct knowledge saying the fund carries no government money and already has more than half committed from private investors 4. The MOU defers the fate of Iran's enriched uranium and ballistic missile arsenal to 60-day final agreement negotiations 23.

Analysis
A final comprehensive agreement on Iran's enriched uranium and ballistic missiles is unlikely by August 18: the MOU defers both issues entirely to 60-day negotiations while locking in an economic architecture analysts previously assessed as Iran's maximalist ceiling. Tehran and Washington are already narrating divergent versions of what those talks require, and Vance publicly denied figures Iranian state media attributed to the same signed text. Moderate confidence rests on the published document confirming the deferral structure and the divergence in official characterizations across both capitals, tempered by limited visibility into bridging proposals. Washington's case for a net gain rests on the private-investor fund structure and Iran's 60-day nuclear status quo commitment: temporary enrichment caps without a government payout, extension mechanisms preserving leverage. If negotiations collapse, the oil waiver and partial asset access become the durable operating environment shaping energy market and allied hedging positions.
