US official confirms Iran deal text, military operations to cease

A high-ranking U.S. government official has largely confirmed the details of a framework agreement between the United States and Iran, ahead of its official signing. The agreement, obtained by the German Press Agency, seeks the "immediate and permanent end of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon." Following the signing, no further military actions between the parties are to occur.

The text also stipulates that both sides will respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and refrain from interfering in internal affairs. They commit to negotiations aimed at finalizing a comprehensive agreement within 60 days, with the possibility of mutual extension. The U.S. sea blockade against Iran is to be fully lifted within 30 days, and U.S. forces will withdraw from the region to pre-war levels.

Additionally, the agreement includes provisions for trade ships to navigate the Strait of Hormuz safely and without charge for 60 days. The U.S. official believes Iran will collaborate with Oman and other Gulf states on a long-term arrangement for unimpeded passage. The U.S. also pledges to develop a binding plan with regional partners, valued at a minimum of $300 billion, for Iran's reconstruction and economic development.
