Behind the Unpublished US-Iran Agreement Document

The peace plan between Iran and the United States (US) does not appear to be as simple as it seems. The text of the peace agreement between the two nations has not yet been disclosed.

US President Donald Trump stated that the agreement has been signed. US Vice President Vance told NBC News that the deal requires nuclear inspectors to return to Iran.

Vance described this as a core part of the agreement, which is why the document has not yet been made public.

“The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the United States will assist Iran in destroying highly enriched uranium stockpiles, and that is something clearly explained in the MoU,” he said.

Vance also added that a date for nuclear inspections could be formulated by Friday.

“(Because) there is a broad agreement on this, there is not much disagreement on this specific issue; it should happen very quickly,” the Vice President added.

However, Iranian officials previously stated that negotiations regarding nuclear issues would take place after the signing of the initial agreement. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, when announcing the MoU on Monday, also stated that “negotiations for the final agreement will be delayed until the other party fulfils its obligations based on” the initial agreement.

As is known, the US-Iran peace deal was first announced by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbised Sharif on Monday (15/6). Sharif stated that Washington and Tehran had agreed to declare an “immediate and permanent” cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon.

Iran and the US entered into a peace agreement or MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) after being involved in war for several months. Iran reminded that this MoU is a package deal involving Israel.

According as Al Jazeera, on Tuesday (16/6/2026), Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that regarding negotiations, Washington and Tel Aviv are one and the same.

He also warned that any Israeli attack on Lebanon or the continued occupation of Lebanese territory from now on would constitute a violation of the interim agreement with the United States.

“In our view, the two parties in this memorandum are the US and Israel on one side, and Iran and Hezbollah on the other,” said Araghchi.

Iran’s position since the beginning of this conflict has been that Iran and Lebanon are not separate fronts, but rather a single front.

Lebanon has long been a battlefield for regional and international powers. Iran lost significant influence in the country after the last war in late 2024, when Hezbollah suffered a series of military setbacks. Subsequently, the balance of power in Lebanon shifted in favour of anti-Iran factions.

Araghchi stated that Hezbollah will continue to have influence in Lebanon. Iran believes the memorandum of understanding covers the end of the Israeli occupation of Lebanon.

US President Donald Trump criticised Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Trump noted that not everyone in the attacked apartment building was a member of Hezbollah.

According to Al Jazeera, on Tuesday (16/6/2026), Trump stated that Israel has fought Hezbollah “for too long and too many people have been killed.”

“You do not need to demolish an apartment building every time you are looking for someone because there are many people in those apartment buildings—and they are not all members of Hezbollah,” the US President said.

He instead suggested that Israel allow Syria to handle Hezbollah. “I suggest that Israel let Syria handle Hezbollah because, quite frankly, I think they would do a better job,” Trump added.
