Central News Agency
(Central News Agency, Islamabad 6th, comprehensive foreign report) A Pakistani source familiar with the progress of negotiations, who is a mediator, indicates that the United States and Iran are close to reaching an agreement on a one-page memorandum to end the Persian Gulf war.
Reuters reported that the Pakistani source stated that earlier reports by US media Axios regarding this proposed memorandum were true. Axios, citing two US officials and two other individuals familiar with the negotiations, reported that the White House believes it is close to reaching an agreement with Iran.
The Pakistani source said, "We will finish this soon, we are close to achieving the goal."
Axios reported today that the White House believes it is close to reaching a one-page memorandum with Iran to end the war, three days after US President Trump temporarily suspended the naval mission targeting the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The US expects to receive Iran's response on several key points within the next 48 hours. The US State Department and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
According to Axios, the agreement includes Iran's commitment to suspend nuclear enrichment activities, the US agreeing to lift sanctions and unfreeze billions of dollars in Iranian funds, and both sides easing various restrictions on navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
Axios reported that this 14-point memorandum of understanding is being negotiated by US Envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, and several Iranian officials, both directly and through mediators.
According to the current draft, the memorandum will officially declare an end to the Middle East war and initiate a 30-day negotiation period for detailed agreements on opening the strait, limiting Iran's nuclear program, and lifting US sanctions.
Axios quoted a US official as saying that during this 30-day period, Iran's restrictions on strait shipping and the US naval blockade on Iran will be progressively lifted. If negotiations break down, the US can resume the blockade or restart military operations. (Compiler: He Hongru) 1150506
