Where the real business lies
The proposed arrangement appears to hinge on one of the most sensitive issues in the conflict: the Strait of Hormuz.
The draft framework would reopen the waterway to shipping, while Washington would ease sanctions on Iranian oil exports and begin releasing billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets.
The package also envisions a 60-day technical negotiation phase focused on Iran’s nuclear program.
Diplomacy, with a touch of theatre
Trump said on Truth Social that “The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL,” underscoring his confidence that a breakthrough was imminent.
Pakistan, acting as a mediator, also said the agreement was expected to be formalized on Sunday and that the signing would likely take place electronically, followed by technical-level talks next week.

A measured word before the ink dries
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei urged restraint, saying the exact timing of the signing remained uncertain and that the country should remain cautious because of what he described as the other side’s inconsistency.
Even so, Tehran’s language was notably more open than in earlier rounds of talks, while the region continued to see fresh military activity and diplomatic movement around the negotiations.
