Claim 3: “the majority of provisions of a draft US-Iranian memorandum of understanding have already been agreed”
SINGLE SOURCE
While multiple sources mention the existence of a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), one source explicitly states that the reported draft 'has not been independently verified' and that neither Iranian nor US officials have publicly confirmed its contents. There is no authoritative confirmation that the 'majority of provisions' have been agreed upon, only that a draft is being discussed or leaked.
