No uranium limits or missile curbs? Leaked US-Iran 'final draft' raises big questions in Washington

A leaked “final draft” of a possible U.S.-Iran agreement has triggered global debate after reports claimed the deal avoids key issues like Iran’s nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and regional proxy groups. Mediated reportedly by Pakistan, the draft focuses on ceasefire terms, sanctions relief, freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and regional stability. Critics question whether Donald Trump is softening long-held red lines to avoid a wider Middle East conflict. While U.S. officials admit there has been “slight progress” in talks, neither Washington nor Tehran has officially confirmed a final agreement. Could this deal reshape the Middle East power balance?
