Inside the 14-Point Draft Agreement to End U.S.-Iran Hostilities

The draft mandates an immediate and permanent cessation of hostilities across all fronts, including Lebanon, with both nations pledging to respect each other’s sovereignty. A central feature of the proposal is the establishment of a 60-day window for comprehensive negotiations, during which both parties agree to maintain the current status quo regarding nuclear activities and regional troop deployments.

Economic relief forms a cornerstone of the interim measures. The United States commits to lifting naval blockades and issuing Treasury waivers to allow the export of Iranian crude oil, petrochemicals, and related financial services. In return, Iran must facilitate the resumption of merchant shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and clear technical obstacles or mines within 30 days. The draft also outlines a $300 billion economic rehabilitation plan, funded by regional partners and the U.S., to be formalized as part of the final agreement.

While Iran reiterates its commitment to refrain from nuclear weapon production, the specifics of its enrichment program and the fate of existing materials remain unresolved, relegated to the upcoming final negotiations. The agreement envisions that once the initial conditions regarding maritime traffic and financial waivers are met, the parties will finalize a binding resolution to be codified by the United Nations Security Council.
