A historic agreement between the United States and Iran could be signed this weekend or on Monday, according to US President Donald Trump
The negotiations, which have progressed rapidly in recent weeks, involve key issues such as the Iranian nuclear program, the easing of economic sanctions, and a lasting truce on several fronts of conflict in the region.
According to Iranian media reports and sources close to the talks, the understanding includes the freezing of approximately US$12 billion in Iranian funds, the withdrawal of US forces from areas near Iran, and the end of the maritime blockade.
The agreement also provides for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping and the lifting of restrictions on Iranian oil exports.
One point generating significant discussion is the inclusion of Lebanon in the agreement.
Sources indicate that the text calls for a permanent ceasefire in the country, with a complete halt to Israeli operations against Hezbollah, the withdrawal of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops from the region, and the release of Lebanese prisoners.
The Pakistani Prime Minister, who mediated the negotiations, confirmed that a final text has already been agreed upon and that the parties are working on the next steps.
President Trump expressed optimism when commenting on the recent statements by the Iranian Foreign Minister, considering them “very positive.” He also demanded a public clarification from Iran regarding information released by Iranian state media, which he claimed did not accurately reflect what was discussed.
Trump stated that the agreement still needs to guarantee the dismantling of uranium enrichment infrastructure, limits on missile production, and an end to Iranian support for terrorist groups in the region.
On the Israeli side, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Trump about the memorandum of understanding.
Although Israel is not directly participating in the negotiations, Netanyahu expressed appreciation for the American commitment that the final agreement include strong measures against the Iranian nuclear program and the financing of regional terrorism.
The talks, initially mediated by Qatar and now with strong Pakistani involvement, are moving towards a broader, not just temporary, regional truce.
Logistical preparations, such as the shipment of American security equipment, indicate that the signing could occur soon, possibly at a location yet to be determined.
If it materializes, this understanding would represent a significant shift in the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East, with direct impacts on Israel’s security, the balance of power against Hezbollah, and the Iranian economy.
The world is watching closely as the coming days unfold, which could define a new chapter in relations between Washington and Tehran.
