Iran’s state television reported that it has obtained a draft of an initial, unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United States aimed at ending tensions between the two countries.
According to the proposed framework, Iran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within one month. In return, the United States would withdraw military forces from areas near Iran and lift its naval blockade.
State TV said the proposal does not include military vessels and would allow Iran to manage ship traffic through the Strait in coordination with Oman. However, Tehran stressed that no measures would be implemented without “tangible verification” and that the framework has not yet been finalised.
The report added that if a final agreement is reached within 60 days, it could potentially be approved as a legally binding resolution by the United Nations Security Council.
The developing US-Iran agreement follows indirect negotiations that began after the conflict erupted earlier this year, with Pakistan reportedly acting as a key mediator between Tehran and Washington.
The conflict began after tensions sharply escalated between Iran and Israel, leading to exchanges of missile and drone strikes that disrupted shipping routes in the Gulf and prompted US military involvement, raising concerns of a broader regional conflict.
