Iranian media obtained a draft of an unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran, which would end the conflict. 

The White House on Wednesday called the memo a "complete fabrication." 

“This report from Iranian controlled media is not true and the MOU they ‘released’ is a complete fabrication. Nobody should believe what Iranian state media is putting out. FACTS MATTER,” the White House’s Rapid Response account posted on X.

Under the terms of the framework that Iranian media reported, Iran would allow commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and within a month, restore it to levels it was at before the conflict began, Reuters reported

The deal would exclude military vessels and allows Iran to manage ship traffic through the strait in partnership with Oman. The framework hasn't been finalized and Tehran has no plans to act on the document without "tangible verification." 

In response to the report, Olivia Wales, White House spokesperson said that Trump would make a "good deal for the American people," but it must stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon.
