An Iranian source close to the Geneva negotiation delegation rejected a leaked draft of the Geneva memorandum published by Bloomberg [1].
The denial comes as diplomatic efforts continue in Geneva. The accuracy of the memorandum is critical to the perceived success of the talks, and any premature or incorrect disclosure could destabilize the fragile negotiation process.
The source said the Bloomberg report was incomplete and inaccurate [1]. According to the source, the parties involved in the negotiations had previously reached a pre-agreed decision not to publish the text of the memorandum at this time [1].
Tehran is seeking to correct what it considers misinformation regarding the terms of the understanding [1]. The effort to suppress the leak is intended to preserve the diplomatic image of the ongoing negotiations [1].
By challenging the validity of the leak, the Iranian delegation aims to ensure that the final agreement is not preempted by media reports. The source said the leaked version does not represent the full or current state of the discussions [1].

The tension between confidential diplomatic drafting and media leaks often creates a volatile environment for international agreements. By publicly discrediting the Bloomberg draft, Iran is attempting to maintain control over the narrative and the timing of the announcement to prevent external pressure from altering the negotiated terms.
