The United States and Iran are reportedly considering a preliminary agreement that could ease tensions in the Middle East. According to the proposed framework, Iran would transfer its highly enriched uranium stockpile to an agreed third country or reduce its enrichment levels. The deal also proposes reopening the strategically important Strait of Hormuz to international shipping within seven days of an initial understanding. Direct negotiations are expected to take place in Doha, with China potentially acting as a guarantor. In return, Washington may ease sanctions and economic restrictions. However, the proposal remains preliminary, with no final agreement confirmed. (PC: ANI)
