The Iranian officials said the deal Tehran had agreed to would reopen the #StraitOfHormuz without any tolls; lift the #US naval blockade on #Iran; stop the fighting on all fronts, including between #Israel & #Hezbollah, the Iran-backed armed group, in #Lebanon; & release $25 billion in Iranian assets frozen overseas.

In #Israel, #Trump’s announcement was received with concern. Benjamin #Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, had said the war could lead to the collapse of #Iran’s Islamic Republic & an end to the Iranian #nuclear threat — both of which now seem remote.

#US & #Iran officials said the agreement, even if reached, would be an initial framework that would lead to further negotiations, rather than the last word.

The deal does not address Iran’s supply of missiles nor does it stipulate a moratorium on enrichment, the US official said. Those issues would be addressed in future negotiations, the official said. In previous rounds of negotiations, the U.S. has sought at least a 20-year commitment.

The senior #US official said the proposal would reopen the #StraitOfHormuz in the Persian Gulf — a critical waterway for global #oil & #gas — & see #Iran commit to disposing of its stockpiles of highly enriched #uranium. The mechanism by which Iran will dispose of its highly enriched uranium is still being negotiated, the official said. #Trump has insisted that the #UnitedStates seize the material as part of his vow to curb Iran’s nuclear program.

There was no immediate public statements from #Iran about a deal being reached, & Iranian officials over the last 24 hours offered some conflicting depictions of what a potential agreement might contain. The #US official said Sunday that a deal had not yet been signed & was still subject to final approval from #Trump & Iran’s supreme leader, which could take days.

#US & #Iran Agree “In Principle” to Reopen #StraitOfHormuz, US Official Says

The official said Iran had also agreed to dispose of highly enriched #uranium, but stressed that a deal had not yet been signed. US & Iranian officials have described the terms differently.
