A U.S. official revealed that the impending agreement between the United States and Iran includes a 60-day extension of the ceasefire period. During this time, the Strait of Hormuz will reopen for navigation, allowing Iran to sell oil normally abroad. Simultaneously, both parties will engage in negotiations regarding restrictions on Iran's nuclear program.

This agreement could prevent an escalation of hostilities and alleviate pressure on global crude oil supplies. However, it remains uncertain whether it will lead to a long-term peace accord or meet U.S. demands concerning Iran's nuclear issues.

Both former U.S. President Trump and mediating parties have indicated the agreement may be officially announced on Sunday, though it has not yet been finalized and still carries the risk of collapse.

U.S. officials disclosed detailed contents of the draft agreement, with multiple aspects corroborated by other sources related to the negotiations. The Iranian side has not yet confirmed the specific terms but has stated that an agreement is near completion.

Both parties are set to sign a 60-day memorandum of understanding, which can be extended upon mutual agreement.

Navigation Access: The Strait of Hormuz will be freely open for 60 days. Iran will clear deployed naval mines to ensure the free passage of vessels.

U.S. Concessions: The United States will lift the blockade on Iranian ports, exempt certain sanctions, and allow Iran to sell oil normally on the international market.

The U.S. acknowledges that this move could boost Iran's economy while also easing pressure on the global oil market. The faster Iran progresses in clearing obstacles for navigation, the quicker the U.S. will implement its lifting measures.

The agreement drafted under Trump follows a principle of benefits in exchange for compliance. Iran demanded the immediate unfreezing of assets and permanent removal of sanctions, while the U.S. stated that such preferential treatment would only be granted after Iran makes substantive concessions.

The draft stipulates that Iran commits to never developing nuclear weapons. Both parties will negotiate a suspension of uranium enrichment activities and address existing stockpiles of highly enriched uranium.

Sources indicate that Iran has verbally pledged through mediators its willingness to make corresponding concessions regarding the suspension of uranium enrichment and the disposal of nuclear materials.

During the 60-day negotiation period, the U.S. will discuss gradually lifting sanctions and unfreezing Iran's overseas assets. These measures will only be formally implemented after a final agreement is reached and verified.

U.S. military forces deployed to the Middle East in recent months will not withdraw during the 60-day period and will only redeploy upon the formalization of an agreement.

Provisions Related to the Lebanon-Israel Conflict

The memorandum explicitly requires a simultaneous cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Israeli officials stated that during a phone call with Trump on Saturday, Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed concerns about this clause and other aspects of the agreement, but the communication remained measured and cautious.

The U.S. emphasized that this ceasefire is not a unilateral constraint. If Hezbollah re-arms and launches attacks, Israel retains the right to take countermeasures. Both sides must adhere to the ceasefire guidelines. The U.S. noted that Netanyahu must consider domestic political factors, while Trump must balance U.S. interests with the global economic situation.

Agreement Advancement Process

Three informed sources revealed that Trump held a conference call on Saturday to seek opinions from Arab and Muslim nation leaders, all of whom expressed support for the agreement.

Participants included leaders from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan, all of which were involved in the mediation efforts. Pakistan served as a primary mediator, with its military leadership visiting Iran in the preceding two days to vigorously promote the agreement's finalization.

Recently, Trump reportedly vacillated between pushing for the agreement and launching a large-scale strike against Iran. As of Saturday evening, the U.S. inclination leaned toward resolving the dispute through diplomatic channels.

U.S. officials stated that the White House hopes to resolve remaining differences within hours and officially announce the agreement on Sunday.

If the U.S. determines that Iran lacks sincerity in nuclear negotiations, this agreement might not even complete the 60-day period. Conversely, Iran, mired in economic difficulties, has practical motivation to reach a comprehensive agreement in exchange for sanctions relief and asset unfreezing.

The U.S. indicated that the extent of Iran's concessions remains to be seen, and this phase will pressure Iran to make critical decisions regarding its national development path. U.S. advisors stated that if Iran meets U.S. demands on nuclear issues, Trump is willing to fully promote the restart of bilateral relations, helping Iran unlock significant economic development potential.
