"Negotiators from the US and Iran have come to an agreement on a memorandum of understanding." According to the outlet, it requests a 60-day extension of the ceasefire and the initiation of discussions regarding Iran's nuclear program, citing two unnamed US officials and a source in the Middle East.
Axios reported that US sources indicated most terms of the memorandum were settled on Tuesday, but approval from the leaders of both nations was still required. The Iranian representatives subsequently reached out to US negotiators to inform them that they had obtained the required approvals in Tehran.
Iran has still not made an official announcement regarding this.
Moreover, as per the portal, American negotiators informed Trump about the specifics of the deal, yet he did not sign the memorandum right away, mentioning that he "wants to ponder over it for a few days."
According to sources, the memorandum states that shipping in the Strait of Hormuz will be "unrestricted" and permitted for 60 days. Iran must also clear mines from the strait in 30 days.
The memorandum further indicates Iran's pledge to refrain from trying to obtain nuclear weapons. Throughout the duration of the agreement, discussions will persist regarding the future of Iran's highly enriched uranium and the overall enrichment of uranium in the country.
Should the memorandum be approved, the United States will commit to reducing sanctions on Iran and releasing Iranian assets that have been frozen.
