US-Iran War Key News
Central News Agency
(Central News Agency, Washington, 6th comprehensive foreign report) The United States and Iran are reportedly trying to finalize the details of a one-page memorandum aimed at ending hostilities. This is the latest round of negotiation tug-of-war after months of stalemate.
Foreign media such as "The Hill" and CNN reported that the memorandum proposed by the United States will establish a framework for future negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. Once an agreement is reached, a 30-day negotiation period will be initiated to address nuclear demands, unfreeze Iranian assets, and both sides will simultaneously lift transit restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz.
US media Axios reported that the agreement also includes Iran's commitment to suspend uranium enrichment activities, the Trump administration lifting sanctions, and the release of billions of dollars in frozen Iranian funds.
Axios reported that the US and Iran are actively negotiating the duration of Tehran's suspension of uranium enrichment activities. Three sources revealed that this buffer period will be at least 12 years, while another believes the period could be 15 years.
The Wall Street Journal, citing Iranian officials, pointed out that one idea being discussed by negotiators is to first suspend uranium enrichment for 12 to 15 years, and then allow Iran to limit uranium enrichment concentration to 3.67%. Currently, Tehran has stockpiled 60% enriched uranium, while weapons-grade uranium is generally defined as 90% enrichment.
US President Donald Trump revealed in an interview with PBS that potential agreement conditions also include Iran shipping its domestic enriched uranium stockpile to the US and committing not to operate its underground facilities.
Reuters pointed out that this memorandum will not initially require immediate concessions from either party, nor does it include some key demands that the US has repeatedly made in the past but were rejected by Iran, such as limiting Iran's missile program or stopping support for proxy armed groups in the Middle East.
In addition, sources revealed that although the agreement mentions possible restrictions on Iran's "future" uranium enrichment activities, it does not touch upon Tehran's "currently" stockpiled enriched uranium, which exceeds 400 kilograms of near weapons-grade material. The US has previously demanded that Iran hand over these stockpiles as one of the conditions for ending the conflict. The report pointed out that even if some controversial demands seem to have been watered down, Tehran may still seek more concessions.
Israeli sources said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting with Trump administration officials to understand the latest developments in the US-Iran negotiations. This person pointed out that Israel is concerned that the US may make concessions at the last minute.
Trump emphasized at an event today that the US has the situation with Iran "well under control." He said: "We are dealing with people who are very willing to make a deal. As for whether they can come up with a deal that satisfies us, we will wait and see."
However, Trump also warned Iranian officials earlier not to reject his administration's proposal. He posted on his social media platform Truth Social: "If they don't agree, the bombing will begin, and unfortunately, the scale and intensity will be far greater than ever before."
