According to the same source, the US expects Iran's responses on several key points over the next 48 hours, adding that "this is the closest the two sides have been to an agreement since the start of the war."
The White House is close to a "one-page" deal with Iran to end the war in the Middle East and set a framework for negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program, Axios reports.
According to the same source, the US expects Iran's responses on several key points over the next 48 hours, adding that "this is the closest the two sides have been to an agreement since the start of the war."
Axios reports that the deal will include: Iran's commitment to halt nuclear enrichment, the US agreement to lift sanctions and release billions of dollars in "frozen" Iranian funds, and the lifting of restrictions on passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
Specifically on the nuclear moratorium, three sources said it would last at least 12 years and another 15 years. According to these sources, Iran proposed a 5-year moratorium, while the US asked for 20 years.
Iran reportedly commits in the Memorandum of Understanding that it will never pursue nuclear weapons or nuclear-related activities, while a US official added that the two sides are discussing a clause under which Iran would commit not to operate underground nuclear facilities. Tehran is also reportedly committing to a strengthened inspections regime, including surprise checks by UN inspectors.
Two sources also report that Iran would agree to withdraw its highly enriched uranium, something that is being demanded by Washington and that Tehran has so far refused, while one of the options being discussed is its transfer to the US.
According to the publication, the memorandum of understanding will include 14 points and currently envisages the end of the war and the start of a 30-day period of negotiations that will lead to a detailed agreement on the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's nuclear program and the lifting of US sanctions.
Regarding these negotiations, according to the publication, they could take place either in Islamabad or Geneva, two sources said, while if they fail, a US official stated that the US could restore either the blockade on Hormuz or military operations.
Officials quoted by the American site also emphasized that Trump's decision to withdraw "Operation Freedom" was a result of this progress in the talks. / Adapted "Pamphlet" from "Axios"
