US and Iran Reach Deal, Pending Trump's Final Sign-Off: Rpt
Key Points:
- The United States and Iran have reportedly reached a tentative agreement on a 60-day ceasefire framework and the initiation of nuclear negotiations, pending President Donald Trump’s final approval.
- The deal proposes unrestricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran expected to remove naval mines within 30 days and a gradual lifting of the U.S. naval blockade as commercial shipping resumes.
- Iran would commit not to pursue nuclear weapons, while negotiations would address Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile, sanctions relief, and access to frozen Iranian funds.
- U.S. negotiators have largely finalized the terms, and Iranian representatives have indicated approval from senior leadership, though Iran has not publicly confirmed this.
- President Trump has not yet endorsed the agreement, requesting a few days to consider the proposal after being briefed by mediators.
