Saudi Arabia's state-run media reported that the United States and Iran have drawn up a draft end-of-war agreement and could reach a deal within hours.
Saudi Arabia's state broadcaster Al Arabiya reported on the 22nd (local time) that it exclusively obtained the draft agreement prepared between the U.S. and Iran.
According to the report, the draft agreement between the United States and Iran includes: ▲ an immediate, comprehensive, unconditional cease-fire on all fronts ▲ a ban on strikes against military, civilian, and economic infrastructure ▲ a halt to military operations and information warfare ▲ respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity and a stop to interference in internal affairs. It is also said to include provisions guaranteeing freedom of navigation in the Gulf waters, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman; monitoring of implementation and joint procedures for dispute resolution; the opening of negotiations within 7 days on unresolved issues; the gradual lifting of sanctions depending on Iran's implementation; and the agreement taking effect immediately after its official announcement.
There were also reports that Pakistan, which is mediating the end-of-war talks, and Qatar, which is supporting the negotiations, sent senior officials to Tehran, Iran. Iranian local media reported that Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir departed for Tehran. Reuters, citing related sources, said the Qatari negotiating team arrived in Tehran that day. If these reports are accurate, it appears the United States and Iran are making progress toward an end-of-war agreement.
