WANA (May 24) – Amid recent reports by several Western and regional media outlets claiming that Iran had agreed to remove nuclear materials from the country or suspend its nuclear activities for 10 to 20 years under a preliminary understanding with the United States, informed sources have rejected the claims as false.

 

According to details emerging from a possible initial memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Tehran and Washington, Iran has made no commitment regarding the transfer of nuclear materials abroad, and no concrete nuclear-related obligations have been included in the current stage of the proposed agreement.

 

Sources also dismissed reports suggesting that Iran had accepted a long-term suspension of its nuclear program, stressing that no such provision exists in the draft understanding and that the agreement contains no specifics concerning limitations on Iran’s nuclear activities.

 

The same sources indicated that discussions related to Iran’s nuclear program have been postponed to later stages, potentially after the end of current tensions and following the implementation of certain measures by the United States. At this stage, Iran has reportedly accepted no practical steps concerning its nuclear program.

 

Meanwhile, despite signs pointing to the possible announcement of an initial understanding between the two sides, Tehran is also preparing for the possibility of a breakdown in negotiations.

 

Iranian military forces, according to informed sources, remain on full alert regardless of the status of the talks, taking into account previous hostilities by the United States and the possibility of actions by Israel.

 

In this context, a military source recently stated that if the United States once again makes what Tehran describes as a “miscalculation” and takes action against Iran, it will face what was referred to as “Iran’s third version of confrontation” — a response that, according to the source, would differ significantly from previous conflicts in terms of strategy, tactics, objectives, and military capabilities.
