US-Iran draft deal proposes shipping enriched uranium abroad, reopening Hormuz in 7 days
A preliminary US-Iran draft framework proposes transferring Tehran's highly enriched uranium stockpile abroad or reducing its enrichment, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz within seven days of an initial understanding, according to Al Arabiya English. The draft, obtained exclusively by the news platform, identifies China as a potential guarantor and proposes direct negotiations in Doha. Iran would commit to nuclear and maritime security steps in exchange for US sanctions relief, with independent verification and dispute-resolution mechanisms to ensure compliance. Diplomatic efforts intensified as a Qatari delegation visited Tehran, and Turkish and US officials met on the G20 sidelines. US President Donald Trump said Washington is in no hurry to end the conflict, claiming Iran faces financial difficulties, while the framework's viability remains uncertain.
