Reports suggest the United States and Iran are nearing a memorandum of understanding that could be signed within days following talks mediated by Qatar and Pakistan. According to reported draft provisions, the agreement would extend a ceasefire, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, address Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and provide limited sanctions relief. Iran would reaffirm that it does not seek a nuclear weapon, while options such as diluting enriched uranium inside Iran under international supervision remain under discussion. The reported framework focuses on broad principles, with detailed nuclear measures expected to be negotiated later in a separate follow-on agreement.
