DUBAI: Washington has rejected Israel’s request for access to a possible draft agreement being negotiated with Iran, a move that has reportedly surprised Israeli officials.
The United States has declined to share details of a potential agreement with Iran. Israeli media reported that Israeli officials had formally requested access to a memorandum of understanding related to the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the United States, but Washington rejected the request.
According to reports, US officials stated that the matter involves sensitive national security considerations and that the full details of the agreement cannot be shared with Israel. Israeli media said the American decision caught officials in Tel Aviv off guard, given the long-standing close coordination between the United States and Israel on issues related to Iran.
The development comes as details of a reported 14-point draft memorandum between Iran and the United States have begun to emerge. According to Iranian sources, the proposed framework includes lifting the U.S. naval blockade within 30 days and suspending sanctions imposed on Iran’s oil and petrochemical sectors.
Reports further suggest that the potential agreement contains provisions for an immediate and permanent ceasefire across multiple fronts, including Lebanon. It has also been claimed that the United States and its allies could provide up to $300 billion in assistance for Iran’s reconstruction.
Sources say that the release of $24 billion from Iran’s frozen assets is also under consideration, while Washington may be willing to release $12 billion even before negotiations are finalised.

It has also been suggested that any final settlement would be endorsed through a resolution of the United Nations Security Council.
