Negotiations between Iran and the United States are focusing on a potential 14-point memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, indicated that while progress has been made on many topics, a final deal is not yet in sight. The proposed framework seeks to end hostilities and lift the US naval blockade in exchange for Iran ensuring safe transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Key contentious issues include Iran's nuclear ambitions, the status of ballistic missiles, and the lifting of sanctions that have severely impacted Iran's economy. A senior US official noted that Iran has agreed 'in principle' to some terms, including the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. If the Iranian Supreme National Security Council approves the memorandum, it will then require the final endorsement of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. The negotiations could also lead to discussions on Iran's nuclear program during a specified 60-day period.
