Al Arabiya reported on Friday that a final draft of a potential U.S.–Iran agreement could be announced within hours, citing sources familiar with the developments. According to these sources, the proposal outlines a comprehensive and immediate ceasefire across land, sea, and air. The draft reportedly includes commitments from both sides to avoid targeting military, civilian, and economic infrastructure, alongside a halt to military actions and hostile media activity. It also emphasizes principles such as respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity, and non-interference in domestic affairs. In addition, it is said to guarantee freedom of navigation in key waterways including the Arabian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman.

Sources further indicated that the agreement would establish a joint mechanism to oversee implementation and settle disputes. Follow-up negotiations on unresolved issues are expected to begin within a week of the deal taking effect. The plan also reportedly involves the gradual easing of U.S. sanctions in return for Iran’s compliance with the terms, while reaffirming adherence to international law and the U.N. Charter. The agreement would take effect immediately after a formal announcement by Washington and Tehran.

The report also pointed to signs of diplomatic movement, including Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi extending his visit to Tehran and holding additional talks with Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Araghchi. There is also speculation that Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir may visit Iran ahead of any formal announcement.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted in Sweden at a NATO press conference that there had been “some slight progress” in discussions with Iran. However, key details regarding Iran’s nuclear program remain unclear. U.S. President Donald Trump has maintained a hardline stance, stating that Iran’s nuclear capabilities must be eliminated.

Iran is believed to possess around 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium, which could potentially be used for weapons development if further processed. Addressing this stockpile remains a central focus of U.S. policy toward Tehran, with both the U.S. and Israel viewing Iran’s nuclear program as a significant security concern.
