  • Iranian media report a potential Iran-US peace deal involving temporary sanctions relief and eased Strait of Hormuz restrictions.
  • The agreement reportedly excludes nuclear commitments, deferring them to later negotiations.
  • Both nations express optimism, with Pakistan mediating further talks.

Iranian media outlets suggest a potential peace agreement between Iran and the United States could include the temporary suspension of oil sanctions against Tehran and a gradual easing of restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz. This understanding, reportedly nearing finalization, prioritizes ending conflicts on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

The agreement aims to restore maritime transit volume in the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels. Iran had previously blocked the strait, leading to a US naval blockade on Iranian ports and vessels. However, the reported deal would not signify a complete return to the prior state but rather a recovery of existing shipping volumes before the conflict.

In exchange, the United States would reportedly agree to temporarily suspend sanctions and unblock some Iranian assets frozen abroad. These measures would be contingent on the memorandum of understanding coming into effect. Notably, reports indicate that the draft agreement does not contain any clauses regarding Iran's nuclear program.

What the possible agreement would contemplate would not be a complete return to the previous state (before the war), but only the recovery of the volume of ship transit that existed before the conflict.

According to sources cited by the Fars news agency, all nuclear-related matters have been postponed for 60 days following the peace agreement's signing. This means Iran would not undertake any commitments in this initial pact regarding its nuclear reserves or facility closures, which Washington has been demanding.

Both Iran and the US have expressed optimism about the ongoing peace negotiations. US President Donald Trump indicated that final aspects of an agreement to end hostilities with Tehran are being negotiated. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, acting as a mediator, announced that Islamabad anticipates hosting another round of dialogue between Iran and the US "very soon."

The draft of the possible agreement between Iran and the United States does not include any clause on Iranian nuclear commitments.
