Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[ColonelCassad] The White House has published the text of the agreement with Iran. It is consistent with what the Iranians have published. If signed and observed (which is currently unlikely), this text will confirm Iran's victory in the war against the United States and Israel.

1. The United States and Iran, as well as their allies in the current war, by signing this Memorandum of Understanding, declare an immediate and permanent cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon, and undertake not to initiate any war or military operation against each other, and to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other and to ensure the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon.

2. The United States and Iran will respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and refrain from interfering in each other's internal affairs.

3. The United States and Iran undertake to reach a final agreement within a maximum of 60 days, with the possibility of extension by mutual consent.

4. The United States will immediately begin lifting its naval blockade and any disturbances or obstructions against Iran and will completely end the naval blockade within 30 days. During this period, shipping volumes will be proportional to the pre-war shipping volumes that Iran restores. In addition, the United States commits to withdrawing its armed forces from Iranian control within 30 days of the conclusion of a final agreement.

5. Iran will take measures to ensure safe, free passage for commercial vessels for 60 days from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of ​​Oman and vice versa. Commercial vessel traffic will begin immediately, subject to the removal of technical and military obstacles and mine clearance, within 30 days. Iran will engage in dialogue with Oman to determine the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz in discussions with other Gulf littoral states, in accordance with international law and the sovereign rights of the littoral states of the Strait of Hormuz.

6. The United States commits to working with its regional partners to develop a final, mutually agreed plan for at least $300 billion in reconstruction and economic development assistance for Iran, as part of a final agreement within 60 days. All necessary licenses, waivers, and permits will be granted.

7. The United States will lift all sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, including UN Security Council resolutions, IAEA Board of Governors resolutions, and all unilateral US sanctions, primary and secondary, in accordance with the agreed schedule as part of a final agreement.

8. Iran confirms that it will not acquire or develop nuclear weapons. The United States and Iran agree to resolve the issue of enriched material stockpile disposition in accordance with a mechanism to be mutually agreed upon in accordance with the schedule referred to in paragraph seven, at a minimum through on-site shredding under IAEA supervision. The two sides also agree to discuss uranium enrichment and other mutually agreed issues related to Iran's nuclear needs.

9. Until a final agreement is reached, the United States and Iran agree to maintain the status quo. Iran will maintain the current status quo with respect to its nuclear program, and the United States will not impose any new sanctions or deploy additional forces in the region.

10. The United States undertakes that, immediately following the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, preferences will be provided on the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, and derivatives, as well as on all related services, including banking operations, insurance, transportation, etc.

11. The United States undertakes to release frozen or restricted funds to the Islamic Republic of Iran upon the implementation of this Memorandum of Understanding. The United States and Iran will mutually agree during the negotiations on procedures related to the release of these funds.

12. A monitoring mechanism will be established to oversee the implementation of this Memorandum of Understanding and the subsequent transaction.

13. Following the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, subject to the commencement and continuation of implementation of paragraphs 1, 4, 5, 10, and 11, the United States and Iran will begin negotiations on a final agreement.

14. The final deal will be approved by a UN Security Council resolution.

15. A pony

Thus, it follows from the text that Iran not only withstood the war against the United States and Israel, but also won, forcing the United States to make significant concessions.

Of course, everything can still be derailed, but the very fact that Iran forced the United States to sign this is more than remarkable. The United States has probably not signed such humiliating documents since the Vietnam War.
