Iran Signals Possible Agreement with US Within Days
Iran, US Near Interim Agreement Amid Talks
TEHRAN: (Web Desk) – Iranian officials have suggested that a preliminary agreement between Iran and the United States could be finalized within days, as discussions continue over an interim memorandum of understanding aimed at easing tensions and advancing diplomatic engagement.
Sources quoted by Iranian media said the agreement could be signed on the sidelines of the upcoming G7 Summit if negotiations proceed smoothly. They added that a breakthrough could occur even before the summit begins, provided no unexpected developments derail ongoing talks. Geneva is reportedly being considered as the preferred location for signing the document.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the memorandum remains under negotiation and has not yet been finalized. He noted that amendments are still possible and pledged that the full contents of the agreement would be disclosed once discussions conclude.
Speaking to Iranian media, Araghchi said the draft document contains 14 provisions. He explained that issues related to Iran’s nuclear programme have been deferred to a later phase, describing current U.S. demands on the matter as unacceptable to Tehran at this stage.
According to Araghchi, the interim arrangement would include measures designed to reduce hostilities across several regional fronts, including Lebanon. He said the framework would also address the easing of sanctions on Iran, the removal of economic restrictions and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The foreign minister argued that Iran had strengthened its position following its recent confrontation with the United States. He said any ceasefire-related measures would be implemented as part of a broader transitional process and stressed that future progress on nuclear negotiations would depend on the successful implementation of confidence-building measures included in the interim accord.
Addressing the Strait of Hormuz, Araghchi said previous administrative arrangements would not automatically return. He emphasized that Iran would continue safeguarding maritime navigation through the strategic waterway while protecting its national interests. He also noted that Iran and Oman would retain responsibilities linked to sovereignty and regional security.
Separately, reports indicated that developments in the Middle East are expected to feature prominently during discussions at the upcoming G7 summit. Maritime security and regional stability are likely to be among the key issues on the agenda, alongside economic growth, global partnerships, artificial intelligence and the conflict in Ukraine.
The G7 comprises Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom and the United States. Leaders from the European Union and invited partner nations are also expected to attend.
