A final draft of a possible agreement between the United States and Iran could be announced within hours, according to reports from Al Arabiya sources, marking what could be a major diplomatic breakthrough in long-running tensions between the two countries.
The agreement, which is said to have been mediated by Pakistan, outlines an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire across all domains, land, sea and air, if it is formally adopted by both sides.
The United States and Iran would also commit under the draft to avoid targeting military, civilian, or economic infrastructure while ending ongoing military operations and halting what the text describes as a “media war.”
The proposed deal reportedly goes further than a simple ceasefire, calling on both countries to respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and to refrain from interfering in internal affairs.
One of the key elements is a guarantee of freedom of navigation in strategic waterways, including the Arabian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman, all critical global shipping routes for energy supplies.
A monitoring mechanism would also be created to oversee implementation of the agreement and handle any disputes that arise.
According to the draft terms, negotiations on unresolved issues would begin within seven days of the agreement taking effect.
In return for Iran’s compliance, the United States would reportedly begin a gradual easing of sanctions, a long-standing demand from Tehran that has been central to previous failed negotiations.
The draft also reaffirms commitment to international law and the United Nations Charter and would come into force immediately once officially announced.
While officials from both sides have not yet confirmed the details publicly, the reported framework suggests a carefully structured attempt to de-escalate tensions quickly while keeping space open for further political negotiations.
If confirmed, the deal would represent one of the most significant diplomatic shifts between Washington and Tehran in years, though major hurdles are still expected in turning the draft into a fully implemented agreement.
