US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that a potential agreement between the United States and Iran to end the ongoing conflict in West Asia could be finalized today. In a media briefing, Rubio mentioned that the deal would focus on critical issues such as the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program. He emphasized the importance of not rushing the negotiations, echoing President Donald Trump's sentiments about ensuring a solid agreement. Despite the optimism surrounding the deal, it faces resistance from US officials who believe it could be too lenient towards Iran. Reports suggest that Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has tentatively approved a framework for the deal, which includes an agreement to manage Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium. However, any sanctions relief for Iran will depend on its compliance with the nuclear agreements. The US negotiators are aware of the internal pressures Iran faces and are strategizing to ensure that any concessions can be presented favorably to hardliners within Iran.
