U.S.-Iran MOU Implementation Gap Capture
The 2026-06-18T10:25Z follow-up still did not locate the official implementation records needed to upgrade the reported U.S.-Iran MOU lane. Current public reporting can support a reported signed-and-publicized MOU status, but the corpus should continue to treat sanctions waivers, oil exports, frozen assets, Hormuz reopening, toll treatment, nuclear/IAEA measures, and UN action as unimplemented in the corpus until primary records are captured.

Source base: Follow-up official-source discovery for the reported signed U.S.-Iran MOU across White House, State Department, Treasury/OFAC, Federal Register, IAEA, UN, IMO, Iranian presidency, Iranian foreign ministry, and Pakistan official source routes; existing WARLOCK-INDEX U.S.-Iran MOU source-treatment note; U.S.-Iran MOU implementation-capture packet; Strait of Hormuz strategic chokepoint source packet; official U.S., maritime chokepoint, and research/media source registers.
Analytic confidence: High that this pass did not locate a directly retrieved official U.S. MOU text, Treasury/OFAC waiver, Federal Register notice, IAEA statement, UN Security Council record, IMO notice, or directly captured Iranian/Pakistani official text. Low to moderate for whether such records exist elsewhere or behind dynamic, blocked, foreign-language, paywalled, or non-indexed routes.
Purpose: Preserve a dated implementation-gap record so later WARLOCK-INDEX products do not quietly convert reported MOU clauses into official legal, sanctions, maritime, or nuclear implementation claims.
Boundary: Source-status documentation only. This note does not provide sanctions compliance advice, sanctions evasion methods, banking guidance, maritime routing, vessel guidance, toll-avoidance logic, nuclear technical detail, inspection procedures, operational planning, or diplomatic recommendations.
Bottom Line
The 2026-06-18T10:25Z follow-up still did not locate the official implementation records needed to upgrade the reported U.S.-Iran MOU lane. Current public reporting can support a reported signed-and-publicized MOU status, but WARLOCK-INDEX should continue to treat sanctions waivers, oil exports, frozen assets, Hormuz reopening, toll treatment, nuclear/IAEA measures, and UN action as unimplemented in the corpus until primary records are captured.
This is an evidence-control finding, not a judgment that the MOU is invalid. The correct corpus treatment is to keep the reported text and implementation claims in Class C current-event lanes while maintaining official-source collection requirements.

Corpus Action
- Keep the U.S.-Iran MOU source-treatment note and implementation-capture packet active.
- Add this implementation-gap capture as the dated follow-up note for official-source absence.
- Keep Treasury/OFAC, Federal Register, IAEA, UN, IMO, Iranian official, and mediator routes in the follow-on queue.
- Use the implementation watch tracker as the control product for future official-text, legal-effect, sanctions, maritime, nuclear, UN, and market implementation updates.
- Do not upgrade sanctions, Hormuz, nuclear, or UN claims beyond reported current-event status.
- Link this note from the official U.S. source register, maritime chokepoint register, MOU implementation packet, and Hormuz source packet.
