United States and Iran move toward a preliminary peace agreement

The United States and Iran are nearing a preliminary agreement to end their current conflict, with both sides confirming that a memorandum of understanding is in its final stages. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the deal includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the release of frozen Iranian assets, and a mutual commitment to respect sovereignty, while noting that nuclear issues will be addressed in future phases. Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command reported that American forces shot down several Iranian kamikaze drones heading toward the Strait of Hormuz, citing a threat to commercial shipping. Iran has offered to dilute its 60% enriched uranium reserves, though the U.S. continues to demand their destruction. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan, acting as a mediator, indicated that a final text has been reached, with reports suggesting a potential signing in Geneva. Despite diplomatic optimism, tensions remain high in the Gulf, as evidenced by the recent military engagement. Araghchi emphasized that Iran considers itself the winner of the conflict, while President Donald Trump publicly warned Iran to cease all drone attacks against commercial vessels.
