# USIranDraftDeal

On May 24, details of a draft 60-day US-Iran ceasefire deal were released. The draft includes a 60-day ceasefire extension, free passage through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran clearing mines in the strait, the US lifting its port blockade and issuing sanctions waivers, and Iran committing to never pursue nuclear weapons. Trump said a deal has been "largely negotiated," but Iran said serious differences remain, with the nuclear issue not part of current talks. The White House hopes to announce the deal on May 24, though the draft has not been finalized and talks could still collapse. Whether the Strait of Hormuz reopens will be the key near-term signal to watch.
