Iran has reacted to the US 14-point peace proposal, with Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh stating that Tehran is evaluating the US plan. It is worth noting that US officials and close sources in the White House have claimed that the US and Iran have reached a mutually beneficial agreement on a page of understanding (MOU) aimed at officially ending the war and establishing a new framework for nuclear talks.
According to sources, the two sides are closer to an agreement than they have ever been since the start of the war. US news agencies, including the AP, report that the US is awaiting a final response from Iran on key points within the next 48 hours, although no documents have been signed yet. However, US President Donald Trump’s close advisors, Jared Kushner and Steve Wittenberg, have maintained direct and indirect contact with Iranian officials.
Sources indicate that once a MOU is signed, an announcement will be made about the end of the war. After a 30-day period, detailed talks will take place in Islamabad or Geneva, focusing on the removal of sanctions and a final discussion on Iran’s nuclear program.
During this 30-day period, Iran will gradually lift its naval restrictions and the US will suspend its maritime blockade. Iran has been considering a 12- to 15-year moratorium on uranium enrichment, while the US has demanded a 20-year ban.
