Iran releases five key points of agreement reached in the first round of negotiations

On June 22nd local time, the Iranian negotiation delegation media committee released the key contents and agreement points reached in the first round of negotiations between the US and Iran in Geneva: 1. Under pressure from the Iranian delegation, the fragile ceasefire in the Lebanon region has been maintained since the afternoon of June 20th. To reinforce this ceasefire, a supervisory mechanism called the "Conflict De-escalation Group" will be established, with Iran participating in it. This mechanism signifies Iran's formal entry into the Lebanon security structure. The United States had previously attempted to exclude Iran from matters related to Lebanon in the past few months, and Israel has no position in this mechanism. 2. In terms of managing the Strait of Hormuz, to ensure the gradual reopening of the strait, a communication hotline will be established to directly contact Iran for coordination in case of any problems during the execution process. This arrangement is seen as a certain acknowledgment of Iran's sovereignty status in the Strait of Hormuz. 3. According to the joint statement, three working groups will be established to address nuclear issues, Iranian sanctions issues, and the supervisory mechanism, which will start operating after the implementation of Article 13 of the memorandum. Article 13 includes comprehensive ceasefire, lifting of maritime blockades, unfreezing of Iranian frozen assets, and issuance of exemptions for Iranian oil and petrochemical products, among others. Prior to this, Iran will not enter the final stage of negotiations. 4. During this round of negotiations, Iran also signed a memorandum of understanding with Qatar on the execution mechanism for unfreezing Iranian assets. 5. During the negotiations, according to Article 10 of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Department of the Treasury has issued a 60-day exemption document for Iranian oil, petrochemicals, and related products. This means that Iran can officially sell oil to customers and receive related payments through the official mechanism of the central bank.
