Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that sanctions on Iran’s oil and petrochemical exports have been suspended and the maritime blockade has been lifted.<\/p>\n
In a post on his X account, Araghchi also said that some of Iran’s frozen assets have been released, and that a major plan for the country’s reconstruction and economic development has been launched.<\/p>\n
He thanked Pakistan and Qatar for their mediation efforts, saying the negotiations had led to major progress toward ending the war in Lebanon.<\/p>\n
Araghchi was referring to the first, tenth, and eleventh articles of the Iran\u2013U.S. memorandum of understanding, which form the basis for negotiations and a final agreement.<\/p>\n
According to Article One, Iran, the United States, and their allies will declare an immediate and permanent end to military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon.<\/p>\n
Under Article Ten, Washington will issue the necessary waivers and licenses for Iran’s oil and petroleum exports, related banking transactions, and shipping services.<\/p>\n
Article Eleven concerns the release of Iran’s frozen assets, one of the key issues in the negotiations.<\/p>\n
Araghchi is currently in Switzerland for talks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
