A potential peace agreement in Washington could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, with significant concessions on the nuclear issue seen as a setback for President Trump. Iran leaked purported details of the draft deal, which President Trump dismissed as “fake news.” The agreement reportedly includes a 60-day negotiation period on nuclear matters, deemed unrealistic by experts.
If the leaked document is authentic and signed, Tehran stands to receive substantial reparations, sanctions relief, and access to blocked assets. However, the agreement’s validity remains uncertain, with suspicions that Iran may be countering Trump’s claims about settlements. The draft settlement, as per the leaked information, involves reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending Iran’s nuclear program. Notably, Iran is pushing for Lebanon’s inclusion in the peace deal and demands no interference in its internal affairs.
The reconstructed deal purportedly offers Tehran $300 billion for city rebuilding and the release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian funds. President Trump criticized Iran’s statements, calling them dishonorable and emphasizing the lack of good faith in negotiations. Analysts suggest that if genuine, the agreement represents a strategic withdrawal by the US under the guise of a diplomatic breakthrough orchestrated by Iran.
The draft reportedly grants sanctions relief, asset unfreezing, reconstruction funding, and US withdrawal from Iran’s borders. In return, the US secures the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz but overlooks Iran’s missile program and proxy networks. The agreement also neglects the removal of enriched uranium stockpiles, signaling a shift in US objectives on Iranian nuclear and missile infrastructure.
Following President Trump’s claim of a peace deal, Iran revealed that a final decision had not been reached regarding ending the Middle East conflict. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson noted that while most of the agreement’s text was finalized, issues arose due to new US demands and changing positions. Tehran has not conclusively decided on the agreement, leaving the situation unresolved.
