Iran’s state TV claims Tehran has obtained a draft of an initial, unofficial framework for a Memorandum of Understanding with the US on ending their conflict.

Under the alleged framework, Iran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within a month, while the US would withdraw military forces from Iran’s vicinity and lift a naval blockade.

State TV claimed the framework, which excludes military vessels and envisages Iran managing ship traffic through the strait in cooperation with Oman, was not yet finalised and that Tehran would take no steps without “tangible verification”.

It added that if a final agreement was reached within 60 days, it could be approved as a binding UN Security Council resolution.
