US officials on Wednesday denied Iranian state media claims that Tehran had obtained a draft framework for an unofficial agreement with Washington to end the conflict between the two countries.

In a post on X, the White House described the report as a “complete fabrication” and said “nobody should believe what Iranian state media is putting out.”

The report from Iranian state broadcaster IRIB claimed the proposed framework would involve Iran restoring commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to prewar levels within a month, while the US would withdraw military forces from Iran’s vicinity and end its naval blockade.

According to IRIB, the arrangement would exclude military vessels and place Iran in charge of coordinating shipping traffic through the strait with Oman.

State TV also said the framework was still under discussion and that Tehran would take no action without “tangible verification.” It added that a finalized agreement within 60 days could potentially be formalized through a binding UN Security Council resolution.

Indirect negotiations between the US and Iran began after the February war, with Pakistan playing a key mediating role.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that sanctions relief would not be offered in exchange for Iran surrendering highly enriched uranium, adding that the US was still dissatisfied with negotiations despite Iran’s interest in a deal.

The White House said talks were advancing while maintaining that any agreement must block Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
