The White House says a report aired by Iranian state media describing a draft framework for a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran is false. In posts on X, the White House response account calls the Iranian account “a complete fabrication,” adding that “nobody should believe what Iranian state media is putting out.” Several outlets report that the Iranian television report earlier described an initial, unofficial outline of an MOU and claimed the US would make specific concessions. According to the Iranian report, the alleged US draft would allow commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz to return to pre-war levels, in exchange for the US ending its naval blockade and withdrawing troops from the region around Iran. The US response is framed as part of ongoing, broader back-and-forth between Washington and Tehran over potential peace or de-escalation efforts. No independent confirmation of the alleged draft MOU is presented in the coverage summarized here, and the White House does not provide a detailed counterproposal in the reporting—only a denial of the Iranian state media claim and its “released” document.

WASHINGTON — The White House on Wednesday blasted an Iranian state television report about a framework deal with the United States to end the Middle East war as a "complete fabrication." The Iranian report cited a draft outline of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that it said included a U.S. commitment to lift the naval blockade on Iran and withdraw its forces from the Gulf region. "This report from Iranian controlled media is not true and the MOU they 'released' is a complete fabrication. Nobody should believe what Iranian state media is putting out. FACTS MATTER," the White House said on X as it lashed out at US media for reporting the Iranian claims.
