Draft US-Iran deal would reopen Hormuz and ease sanctions, US media says

Draft US-Iran deal would reopen Hormuz and ease sanctions, US media says US President Donald Trump met advisers on Friday to discuss extending the ceasefire with Iran but did not make a final decision, according to reports in the US media. The meeting came amid claims that Washington and Tehran have reached a preliminary memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict. Reports said that the draft agreement would make shipping through the Strait of Hormuz “unrestricted”, with Iran given 30 days to remove mines while the US would gradually lift its naval blockade and ease sanctions, including restrictions on Iranian oil exports.
