WANA (Jun 22) – The media committee of the “Minab 168” negotiating delegation has released a breakdown of the key agreements achieved during the first round of high-level talks in Bürgenstock, Switzerland.

 

According to the delegation’s official brief, the critical components of the joint statement are structured as follows:

 

Iranian Inclusion in Lebanon’s Security Architecture

Following intense pressure exerted by the Iranian negotiating team since Saturday evening, a fragile cessation of hostilities has been maintained in Lebanon. To solidify this truce, a new supervisory mechanism named the “De-confliction Unit” has been established with Iranian participation.

 

The formation of this unit officially integrates the Islamic Republic of Iran into Lebanon’s security framework, effectively countering months of extensive U.S. efforts to exclude Tehran from Lebanese affairs. The Israeli regime has been given no role or standing within this newly formed mechanism.

 

Stabilization of Iranian Sovereignty Over the Strait of Hormuz

Regarding the management of the Strait of Hormuz, a dedicated communication hotline has been established to facilitate the gradual reopening of the strategic waterway.

 

Under this agreement, foreign entities must directly contact Iran to report and resolve any operational or execution issues. This development formally reinforces Iran’s sovereign authority and jurisdiction over the Strait of Hormuz.

 

Preconditions for Final-Stage Negotiations

Three specialized working groups focusing on nuclear issues, sanctions, and compliance monitoring will be formed under the joint statement. However, these groups will only commence their operations after the full implementation of Clause 13 of the memorandum of understanding.

 

Clause 13 mandates a comprehensive ceasefire across all fronts—particularly in Lebanon—the lifting of the maritime blockade, the initial release of frozen Iranian assets, and the formal waiver of oil, petrochemical, and petroleum derivative sanctions. The Islamic Republic will not enter final-stage negotiations until these prerequisites are met.

 

Direct Agreement on Asset Release Signed with Qatar

During this round of diplomatic sessions, a binding memorandum of understanding specifically detailing the operational execution of the release of frozen Iranian assets was formally signed between the representatives of Iran and Qatar.

 

US Treasury Issues 60-Day Sanctions Waivers

In accordance with Clause 10 of the memorandum of understanding, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued official documents waiving sanctions on Iranian oil, petrochemicals, and related derivatives for a period of 60 days.

 

This administrative step allows Iran to officially sell oil to its international customers and receive the corresponding revenues through standard, official Central Bank channels.
