Agreement includes sanctions relief, enriched material removal, and long-term regional peace guarantees, per a senior official.
A senior US official announced a draft agreement with Iran that secures the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and dismantles Iran’s nuclear program. The deal includes the transfer of enriched nuclear material to the US and establishes an inspection regime, with economic benefits tied to Iranian compliance.
The accord lifts a US blockade and outlines specific steps for the destruction and removal of enriched material. Sanctions relief will be phased based on Iran’s performance, with no immediate benefits upon signing. The US expects to finalize the agreement within days, pending minor remaining details.
Regional stability is a core objective, with officials expressing confidence that Israel will support the deal once its full terms are disclosed. The agreement also addresses mistrust, emphasizing verifiable actions over immediate concessions.
