US-Iran draft deal proposes moving nuclear stockpile abroad, reopening Hormuz in 7 days

A preliminary draft framework for US-Iran negotiations proposes Iran transfer its highly enriched uranium stockpile abroad or reduce enrichment levels, with the Strait of Hormuz reopening to shipping within seven days of an initial understanding. The framework, reported by Al Arabiya English, links nuclear progress to maritime security and envisions reciprocal steps, with US sanctions relief tied to independently verified Iranian commitments. Direct talks could occur in Doha rather than Istanbul, with China potentially serving as a guarantor. The proposals include a dispute-resolution mechanism involving mediators to address delays or violations, aiming to prevent breaches from triggering renewed military escalation. Neither side would make substantial concessions without corresponding verified commitments.
