Iran says it received initial draft of US framework to end war, reopen Strait of Hormuz
The draft would exclude military vessels and could become a binding United Nations Security Council resolution if Tehran and Washington agree within 60 days.
Iranian state media announced that Tehran has obtained an initial, unofficial draft framework for a memorandum of understanding with the United States aimed at formally ending their military conflict.
Under the proposed terms, Iran would commit to restoring commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within 30 days, managing the maritime traffic routes in direct coordination with Oman.
In exchange, the United States would completely lift its naval blockade on Iranian ports and pull back its military forces from Iran's immediate periphery, though the exact scope of the American troop withdrawal remains subject to further negotiation.
Tehran emphasized that the agreement is not yet finalized and will require "tangible verification" before any steps are taken, noting that if a final pact is secured within 60 days, it would be formalized through a binding UN Security Council resolution.
