Breaking News from TechFlow, June 14th, according to sources cited by The New York Times, U.S. President Trump stated that an agreement between the United States and Iran is expected to be signed on Sunday, and that the Strait of Hormuz will immediately reopen once the agreement takes effect.

However, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei stated that the agreement will not be signed on Sunday, but did not rule out the possibility of reaching an agreement within the next few days, indicating that both sides still have disagreements over the timeline.

The report said that currently, the U.S. and Iran have not disclosed the specific details of the agreement, and negotiations remain uncertain. Based on a memorandum of understanding framework previously revealed by multiple officials, the preliminary plan may include Iran resuming navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. lifting some restrictions on Iranian ports, and extending the previously agreed ceasefire for 60 days. During this period, both sides will continue negotiations on core issues such as Iran's nuclear program and U.S. sanctions on Iran.

Additionally, the agreement faces some resistance within Iran. Fars, a media outlet affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, reported that some conservatives have publicly opposed the arrangements, with protesters in Mashhad demanding the resignation of Foreign Minister Araghchi, and some lawmakers also expressing criticism of the deal.

The New York Times cited two Iranian officials and one regional official, stating that the preliminary agreement may also include ending current conflicts, restoring navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting U.S. port blockades on Iran, and initiating a 60-day nuclear negotiations process. During negotiations, the situation in related regional areas, including Lebanon, is expected to remain in a ceasefire state.

The report also mentioned that the signing of the agreement might shift from the originally planned face-to-face signing to an electronic signature. The U.S. side originally planned for Vice President Vance to lead the delegation, while Iran might have Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Kalibaf handle related matters. The agreement is expected to reaffirm that Iran does not seek to develop nuclear weapons, but key issues such as uranium enrichment stockpiles and subsequent nuclear program arrangements will still be addressed in future negotiations.
