The New York Times has claimed that Iran has agreed to forgo enriched uranium, which had remained the central and most sensitive point of negotiations with the United States.
According to details emerging regarding the proposed Iran-US agreement, both countries have also agreed to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. A ceasefire would take effect on all fronts under the arrangement, while no transit fee would be imposed on shipping through the strategic waterway.
The agreement also includes the restoration of Iran’s $25 billion in frozen assets.
Meanwhile, Iranian news agency Tasnim News Agency reported that Tehran has not yet accepted any formal step regarding its nuclear programme. The report stated that a 60-day period would be fixed for nuclear negotiations, while measures concerning the Strait of Hormuz would be addressed within 30 days.
