Draft US-Iran Deal Outlines Ceasefire, Nuclear Curbs
The draft would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, release frozen Iranian assets and begin 60-day talks on a final deal, CNN reported.
- Bloomberg News and Al Arabiya English published a leaked memorandum of understanding between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran, expected to be signed at a ceremony in Switzerland on Friday.
- The draft outlines two phases to reach a final agreement within 60 days, mandating an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, and requiring reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
- Under Articles 4, 5, 10 and 11, the United States would lift naval blockades and issue waivers for Iranian oil exports, alongside a $300 billion reconstruction fund formulated within 60 days.
- Critics argue the document offers substantial economic concessions to Tehran with minimal verifiable return, as analysts criticize the extensive sanctions relief provided before securing permanent nuclear commitments.
- Negotiators have a 60-day window to translate this memorandum into a final agreement, a period extendable by mutual consent, though observers remain skeptical the United States will succeed in this framework.

Donald Trump feels how everyone around him congratulates him on the peace agreement with Iran, but the memorandum of understanding, which will be signed this Friday in Switzerland as a first step to a deeper pact, is a 14-point "generic" text with a "vague" language, as some media such as CNN or Bloomberg have advanced this Wednesday. Among the most critical clauses of the document are the reopening of Ormuz's narrow strategy and the application…
