According to Axios, citing U.S. officials familiar with the ongoing negotiations, the peace agreement that Iran and the United States are close to signing involves a 60-day ceasefire extension during which the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, Iran would be able to freely sell oil, and negotiations would be held on curbing future nuclear ambitions of Iran.

Both sides would sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would last 60 days and could be extended by mutual agreement from the two countries. During the 60-day period, the Strait of Hormuz would be open with no tolls and Iran would agree to clear the mines it deployed in the strait to let ships pass freely. In exchange, the U.S. would lift its blockade on Iranian ports and issue some sanctions waivers, allowing the sale of oil and other energy products by Iran.

Iran has again denied that the nuclear issue is not part of negotiations, as Reuters, citing a senior Iranian official, is now reporting that they have not agreed to hand over enrichment materials. Earlier this week, Iran steadfastly denied reports that they may be willing to accede to this measure, and their reiteration of the demand again puts their public position at loggerheads with that of the Trump administration.

According to Trey Yingst, reporting for Fox News, the current U.S.-Iran deal framework on the table has U.S. forces staying in the Iranian local region for 30 days, while frozen Iranian assets and funds. Additionally, per the report, sanctions waivers would be granted to Iran as well.

However, amidst reports of the two sides achieving convergence on key issues, the U.S. side has continued to push that enriched material being handed over and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz are two key points of contention that Iran has been willing to work on, but Iranian outlets continue to deny such claims.

According to @BarakRavid for Axios, citing people with knowledge on the matter, during a call today with Arab leaders, U.S. President Donald J. Trump told them that if a U.S.-Iran deal is realized, he would like them to become party to a wider peace framework with Israel. In the past, President Trump has championed the furtherance of the Saudi-Israeli Abraham Accords and an expansion of a potential Arab-Israeli rapprochement framework was not received well by the other nations on the call. Per the report, the presidentโ€™s request was received by silence on the phone line.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump posted a lengthy statement on his Truth Social app earlier on the ongoing negotiations. This most recent statement was centered around President Trumpโ€™s proposition to Arab leaders on the Abraham Accords. Per the presidentโ€™s statement, negotiations with Iran are still ongoing and โ€œproceeding nicely.โ€ Trump stated that it should be mandatory that any nation who signs on to a peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran should sign on to a wider rapprochement framework between Muslim countries and Israel. The president honed in on Saudi Arabia and Qatar, saying that they should immediately sign such a framework and if they do, others will likely follow suit. However, per reporting from @BarakRavid yesterday, the presidentโ€™s proposition wasnโ€™t met with enthusiasm by Muslim leaders during a group call yesterday.
