The Al Arabiya television channel published the text of the document, which is claimed to form the basis of an agreement between the US and Iran to end the war in the Middle East. The document provides for the cessation of hostilities, the lifting of sanctions against Iran, the restoration of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and a large-scale economic support program.
The Saudi television channel Al Arabiya has released the text of the agreement between the US and Iran, which, according to media reports, is scheduled for official signing on Friday in Switzerland. While the document has not yet been officially published by the parties, the released version contains 14 points and outlines the main parameters of a possible resolution to the conflict.
According to the text, Washington and Tehran have agreed to an "immediate and irreversible" cessation of hostilities, including the conflict in Lebanon. Additionally, the parties commit to refraining from any hostile actions against each other and to abstain from threats of the use of force.
One of the key points of the document is the commitment to prepare a final agreement within 60 days. If necessary, this period can be extended by mutual consent of the parties.
The draft also provides for significant changes in the security sphere. After signing the document, the US must lift the maritime blockade of Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf and fully restore shipping within a month. Another 30 days after the final agreement is concluded, the withdrawal of American troops from adjacent territories is planned.
In turn, Iran commits to restoring safe commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and removing obstacles to vessel movement.
This point is particularly significant for the global economy, as a substantial portion of the world's oil and liquefied gas supplies pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
The economic provisions of the document also appear to be extensive. According to the published text, the US, together with its partners, must prepare a program for the restoration and economic development of Iran worth at least $300 billion. A specific financing mechanism is to be developed within 60 days.
At the same time, Washington commits to lifting existing sanctions against Iran, including restrictions related to decisions by the UN Security Council, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and American sanction regimes.
The draft also provides for the unblocking of Iranian assets and granting the Central Bank of Iran access to these funds.
A separate section is dedicated to the nuclear program. The document states that Iran "reaffirms that it will never produce nuclear weapons." However, the future fate of enriched material and other issues related to the nuclear program is to be determined during negotiations on the final agreement.
Until these negotiations are completed, the parties commit to maintaining the status quo: Iran will not expand its nuclear program, and the US will not impose new sanctions or increase its military presence in the region.
According to DPA, US President Donald Trump, Vice President James David Vance, and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf have already signed the document electronically. The official ceremony is expected to take place at the Swiss resort of Bürgenstock.
It is important to note that the content of the agreement has not yet been confirmed by official publications from Washington or Tehran. If the published text is accurate, it represents one of the largest diplomatic agreements in the Middle East in recent years.
