Secret Tehran-Washington Agreement; Four Planes Fly and Memorandum Leaked

As the world closely follows diplomatic movements between Tehran and Washington, reports published on June 13, 2026, indicate entry into the "final turn" of a historic agreement. According to a report by the Turkish media Milliyet, four US military transport planes have moved to prepare for a potential signing ceremony, while the provisions of a secret memorandum have been leaked to the media [1].

Aerial Movements on the Verge of Agreement; Destination: Geneva? Reports indicate that four US Air Force C-17 aircraft have headed to Europe with special equipment. These flights are said to be in preparation for a potential trip by US Vice President JD Vance to Geneva to participate in a signing ceremony with Iranian officials [2]. Although the Pentagon has not yet officially confirmed this mission, the timing of these flights, combined with Donald Trump's statements regarding the proximity of a "Big Deal," has brought speculation closer to certainty [1].

Disclosure of the 14-Point Memorandum; From Reopening Hormuz to Asset Release The leak of the details of this memorandum, which some sources have called the "Islamabad Declaration," has revealed broad dimensions of the potential agreement. According to the leaked provisions, this agreement includes a 60-day period for final nuclear negotiations [3]. During this period, the United States is committed to lifting the naval blockade and reopening the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days. Additionally, reports indicate the release of $24 billion of Iran's frozen assets, half of which must be accessible to Tehran before the official start of negotiations [3].

Conflicting Reactions; From Trump's Optimism to Technical Doubts In response to the leak of this information, Donald Trump, while confirming the proximity of an agreement, called some of the provisions published in Iranian media "unrelated to the written text" and accused Iranian negotiators of "unfair" behavior in leaking information [2]. On the other hand, Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, confirming that the text of the memorandum is less than two pages, emphasized that every word of this document has been carefully reviewed and its main goal is to end the war on all fronts, including Lebanon [3].

Regional Outlook; End of Naval Blockade and Start of a New Era? This agreement, which if signed could change the geopolitical map of the region, includes a US commitment to withdraw part of its military forces from areas surrounding Iran [3]. However, sensitive issues such as the missile program and the exact details of uranium enrichment have been postponed to the second phase of negotiations [1]. International observers believe that the success of this memorandum depends on the precise implementation of commitments during the 60-day period, and any breach of promise could once again drive the region toward military tensions.
