US-Iran draft proposal: Uranium transfer, Strait of Hormuz reopening key points
A preliminary draft framework for US-Iran negotiations proposes transferring Tehran's highly enriched uranium stockpile to a third country or reducing its enrichment level, alongside reopening the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic within seven days of an initial understanding. The framework, obtained by Al Arabiya English, proposes direct negotiations in Doha with China potentially acting as a guarantor. Iran's nuclear and maritime measures would be matched by US sanctions relief, with an independent verification mechanism assessing compliance before each implementation phase. The conflict began when US and Israeli strikes killed Iran's Supreme Leader in February, prompting Tehran to tighten control over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Revolutionary Guards recently halted three oil tankers after reported mine incidents in the waterway.
