Tehran announced Saturday that a near-term agreement with the United States is possible, as talks have reached their final stages. Media and diplomatic sources revealed draft provisions including a comprehensive ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country is mediating, said electronic signing could occur within hours, though Iran’s Foreign Ministry cautioned that the memorandum may take more time and is not guaranteed by Sunday.

The anticipated deal follows President Donald Trump’s cancellation of planned military strikes against Iran, declaring the agreement imminent. A senior U.S. official described the emerging framework as “very strong,” noting Trump intends to discuss it at the upcoming G7 summit. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not included in bilateral talks, though Israel has demanded strict conditions in any final deal, including removal of enriched uranium, dismantling of enrichment facilities, missile restrictions, and halting support for armed groups.

According to Al Arabiya, draft terms include:
- Extension of the ceasefire for at least 60 days.  
- Clearing naval mines and reopening the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days, alongside lifting the U.S. blockade.  
- Allowing Iran to sell and export oil, with gradual sanctions relief.  
- Continued negotiations on the nuclear file during the 60-day period.  
- Ceasefire across all fronts.  

Iranian officials signaled optimism but maintained caution, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stating chances of agreement are higher than ever, while stressing internal review is still underway. Iranian state TV framed the talks as a recognition of sovereignty, reporting discussions on releasing $24 billion in frozen assets and reviewing sanctions, while affirming Iran will not transfer nuclear materials abroad.
