As journalists learned, the memorandum mentioned by Trump provides for a halt to hostilities, including in Lebanon.
In addition, this document provides for the unfreezing of $25 billion in Iranian funds — in return, official Tehran will be obliged to stabilize the security situation in the Middle East.
Against this background, the US and Iran agreed to reduce the US Navy's presence in the Strait of Hormuz area, as well as withdraw US troops further from Iran's borders.
The plan provides for a 30-day period after the signing of the memorandum to finalize the parameters of the nuclear deal. In parallel, Iran and Oman are to fix the technical conditions for transit and control in the Strait of Hormuz.
