US-Iran draft deal proposes uranium transfer and Strait of Hormuz reopening
A preliminary US-Iran draft agreement proposes relocating Tehran's highly enriched uranium to a third country or lowering enrichment levels, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz within seven days of an initial understanding. The framework, reported by Al Arabiya, envisions direct negotiations in Doha with China as a guarantor, and a phased arrangement linking Iranian nuclear and maritime concessions to US sanctions relief. A Qatari delegation delivered a letter from US Vice President JD Vance to Iranian officials in Tehran. President Trump said Washington is under no pressure to end the conflict, claiming Iran is struggling to pay its military and police. He also asserted US costs were offset by gains in Venezuela, without providing evidence.
