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 US 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.
Earlier, Iranian state TV said a draft framework with the US included a commitment to lift the naval blockade on Iran, restore traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and withdraw American forces from the Gulf region.
The report cited what it described as a draft outline of a potential memorandum of understanding, but said the text was “still not finalised.”
Iran has kept tight control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy conduit, while the US has imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports and coasts since April 13.
“The United States has committed itself to lifting Iran’s naval blockade and to cease harassing ships passing to or from the Islamic Republic of Iran, the state TV report said.
