The White House on Wednesday forcefully denied claims published by Iranian state television regarding a supposed draft Memorandum of Understanding between Washington and Tehran.

After Iranian media released what it claimed was a draft framework for a developing US-Iran agreement, the White House dismissed the report as entirely fabricated.

“This report from Iranian controlled media is not true and the MOU they ‘released’ is a complete fabrication. Nobody should believe what Iranian state media is putting out. FACTS MATTER,” the White House wrote on X.

According to the Iranian report, the alleged proposal called for the United States to withdraw military forces from areas near Iran and ease restrictions on Iranian ports. In exchange, Tehran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to prewar levels within one month.

The reported draft also claimed Iran would continue overseeing ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a provision that would mark a significant strategic gain for Tehran if true.
