Iranian state media disclosed parts of an agreement under discussion with the United States, saying a mutual pledge to refrain from attacks is on the negotiating table, amid growing speculation that a deal to end hostilities between the two countries is imminent.
According to Reuters on Tuesday, Iran's FARS news agency reported that a draft memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran includes a commitment that Washington and its allies will not attack Iran and its allies.
In return, Iran has pledged not to launch any pre-emptive military strikes against the United States and its allies, FARS added.
U.S. online news outlet Axios earlier reported that the two countries were nearing an MOU centered on a 60-day extension of the ceasefire, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and nuclear negotiations.
The two sides are said to have discussed a framework under which the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of sanctions on Iran would be followed by additional negotiating agenda items, including the suspension of uranium enrichment, the disposal of highly enriched uranium, and broader sanctions relief.
Neither the United States nor Iran has publicly confirmed the contents of the agreement.
