The White House has reacted to Iranian media claims about the draft US-Tehran nuclear agreement.

The response refers to a draft of an initial, informal framework for drafting a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States, which the White House says is "not true" and that the reported memorandum is an "absolute fabrication."

Earlier, Iranian state television reported that it had received a draft of an initial, informal framework for drafting a memorandum of understanding with the United States.

Under the plan, Iran would restore merchant ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels, while the United States would withdraw American forces from the region and lift the naval blockade of Iran.
