Iran circulates multiple, differing versions of a proposed interim agreement with the United States while the Trump administration continues to pursue a deal timeline tied to a Sunday deadline, according to multiple reports. The competing drafts share broadly similar components, but they diverge in specific respects, making it difficult for outside observers to determine what each version would mean for both sides. While Iran’s different drafts are circulating, the U.S. position remains focused on maintaining the schedule for reaching and signing an agreement. The reports characterize the situation as one in which there is not a single unified text publicly reflected in the negotiation process; instead, at least three versions are discussed. Because the versions vary on key points, analysts say it remains unclear how much either side would gain depending on which draft becomes the basis for any final interim accord. Overall, the accounts describe a negotiation period marked by parallel texts from Iran alongside a U.S. emphasis on timing rather than changes to the announced schedule.
