Iran and the U.S. are expected to finalize the 14-point framework memorandum, with negotiations possibly resuming as early as next week in Islamabad.

BlockBeats News, May 6th, according to The Wall Street Journal, sources familiar with the matter say that Iran and the United States are pushing to finalize a one-page memorandum of understanding containing 14 items through mediators, establishing a framework for a one-month negotiation aimed at ending the war. These discussion points will form the core of the next round of negotiations, which could resume as early as next week in Islamabad. The sources also indicated that Iran has expressed willingness to discuss its nuclear program, showing some softening of its previous stance. Issues such as the deadline for Iran to suspend uranium enrichment activities, whether highly enriched uranium will be moved abroad, and Iran’s insistence on maintaining a permanent regulatory role in the Strait of Hormuz remain unresolved, which is expected to complicate the final negotiations.

Additionally, the timing and scope of sanctions relief may also become obstacles to the negotiations. The sources said that if progress is made, the one-month negotiation period could be extended with mutual agreement. A spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Iran is reviewing the proposal put forward by the United States and will communicate Iran’s position to the U.S. through Pakistani mediators after completing the assessment.
