Iranian media have disclosed a draft agreement with the United States aimed at establishing a framework to end the war in the Middle East. The reported document notably excludes any concessions regarding the strategic Strait of Hormuz or Iran's nuclear program, deferring discussions on these sensitive issues to a later stage.

We have just reached a very good agreement to end the war with Iran and, once the documents are finalized, which should be done in the next few days, we will probably have a signing, perhaps in Europe.

— Donald TrumpStated from the Oval Office regarding the potential agreement with Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump expressed optimism, suggesting that a deal could be finalized over the weekend. He described the potential agreement as "very good" and a "very solid framework agreement," hinting at its potential signing, possibly in Europe. Trump also stated that Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Jamenei, had approved the framework.

Until now, Iran has not reached a definitive conclusion on the agreement.

However, Iranian diplomatic channels have since cooled expectations. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baqai, stated that "Iran has not yet reached a definitive conclusion on the agreement." The official IRNA news agency further clarified that Tehran "does not commit in this text to cede the management of the Strait of Hormuz nor to re-establish the conditions that existed before the American and Israeli military aggression."

Tehran 'does not commit in this text to cede the management of the Strait of Hormuz nor to re-establish the conditions that existed before the American and Israeli military aggression.'

According to the draft, Iran's nuclear program, including its right to enrich uranium and the conservation of enriched material, would be discussed over a 60-day negotiation period between Washington and Tehran. This program was a key justification for previous U.S. and Israeli attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his opposition to Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, stating his complete agreement with President Trump on this matter.

As long as I am prime minister of Israel, Iran will not possess the nuclear weapon. President Trump and I are in complete agreement on this issue.
