Iran’s state television says Tehran has obtained an initial, unofficial draft framework for a memorandum of understanding with the United States aimed at ending their current conflict and easing tensions. Multiple outlets report that the draft centers on restarting commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within about a month. In return, Iran’s account says the United States would withdraw military forces from Iran’s vicinity and lift a naval blockade.
The reported framework reportedly excludes military vessels from the arrangement and envisages Iran managing ship traffic through the strait in cooperation with Oman. State media also says the draft is not final and that Iran would not take steps without “tangible verification.” Some reporting adds that if a final agreement is reached within a set period, it could be submitted for approval as a binding United Nations Security Council resolution.
Separate coverage notes that the U.S.-Iran talks are indirect and were initiated after hostilities began in February, with Pakistan described as a key mediator. Other outlets also highlight that, despite movement toward a preliminary arrangement, disputes—particularly involving Hormuz—remain unresolved.
