A side-by-side comparison of the articles of the MOU between Iran and USA

A side-by-side comparison of the articles of the MOU between Iran and USA reported first by Bloomberg and the version apparently submitted to Congress can be found in the table attached. Bottom line: Weaker language on most fronts. The text submitted to Congress strengthens the ceasefire and Lebanon-related provisions but weakens or hedges the most consequential US military commitments and sanctions obligations. On the Strait of Hormuz, the revised language weakens Iranian commitments to „best endeavors“, while on the nuclear question Iran has made no clear commitment to abandon its nuclear program. The Art of the Deal: Tehran Edition. Corrections and push back welcome.
