The United States and Iran have finalized a preliminary understanding remotely, an agreement that is reportedly already in effect, according to U.S. officials who spoke with Axios. President Donald Trump signed a copy of the accord in France, with a photograph of the signature subsequently transmitted to Tehran. This remote signing marks a significant step towards ending the ongoing conflict.
The 14-point agreement, reached after months of negotiations mediated by Pakistan, mandates the immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. This de-escalation aims to pave the way for more comprehensive peace talks.

Both parties now have a 60-day window to negotiate a definitive accord concerning Iran's nuclear program and the lifting of international sanctions. During this period, Iran will ensure the free transit of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. Concurrently, the United States is expected to lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports within 30 days. As part of the final agreement, Washington has committed to removing all sanctions against Iran, unfreezing assets, and developing a $300 billion reconstruction plan.
