According to the American official, Washington believes that Iran's Supreme Leader has already approved the general framework of a future agreement, though final details have not yet been settled. The White House notes that signing the document in the coming days is unlikely, as negotiations remain complex and "frustratingly slow."

The preliminary agreement involves two stages. The first is expected to be the opening of the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the American blockade, after which the parties will move to negotiations on limiting Iran's nuclear program. The U.S. insists that Tehran completely dispose of its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium and fulfill other nuclear security requirements.

Washington claims that the future agreement will be "better" than the 2015 nuclear deal from the Barack Obama era. At the same time, the issues of unfreezing Iranian assets and potential sanctions relief remain open. U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner are participating in the negotiations.
