Newly revealed details of the secretive US-Iran MOU lay out that it would extend the cease-fire to Lebanon, allow Iran to manage the Strait of Hormuz, temporarily waive Iranian oil sanctions and establish a pathway toward a comprehensive peace agreement, Israel’s Channel 12 reported Tuesday.

The framework, which would serve as the basis for broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran, outlines commitments on nuclear issues, sanctions relief, maritime security and the eventual withdrawal of American forces from the region.

The following 12 points were first revealed by Axios reporter Barak Ravid, who also works for the Israeli channel. The document has previously been described as a 14-point agreement.

  • Iran, the US and their allies would stop fighting across the region — including in Lebanon.
  • Tehran would reaffirm its pledge never to build a nuclear weapon.
  • The US and Iran would work out what happens to Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile.
  • Both sides would open talks on Iran’s future enrichment activities and nuclear needs.

  • Iran would maintain the “status quo” of its nuclear program — which has been largely decimated — while negotiations continue.
  • The US would lift its naval blockade, hold off on new sanctions and refrain from sending more troops to the region.
  • Iran would guarantee safe, toll-free passage for commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days.
  • Washington would release an unspecified amount of frozen Iranian assets once the MOU takes effect.
  • A final deal reached after the 60 days would see the US withdraw its forces within 30 days and lift all sanctions on Iran.
  • It would pave the way for a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran.
  • The US would allow Iran to resume oil sales through temporary sanctions waivers.
  • Iran, Oman and Gulf states would negotiate new shipping and maritime security arrangements for the Gulf.

Oman and Iran have already begun discussions on the last point, and are aiming to charge a fee for “services” provided, a senior regional source told The Post
