The US has confirmed that it has reached a pre-agreement with Iran, but now it needs Trump's approval
According to information advanced by Axios, Iran would allow navigation through the Strait of Hormuz without restrictions.
The United States confirmed on Thursday that negotiators have reached a pre-agreement with Iran to unblock the Strait of Hormuz and extend the ceasefire, which still needs the final approval of U.S. President Donald Trump .
U.S. government sources have confirmed to the press that the deal only requires the approval of the Republican president, as Axios exclusively advanced .
The digital newspaper quoted two senior American officials, and the agreement states that it would allow navigation through the Strait blocked by Iran "without restrictions."
According to Axios, Iran will not impose a toll on the Strait, which is key to the world's crude oil trade, and the US will lift the naval blockade it has imposed against ships leaving and arriving in Iranian ports.
The memorandum of understanding would commit Iran not to develop nuclear weapons, which is a red line for Trump, but would leave negotiations to limit uranium enrichment by the Islamic Republic later.
This issue would be addressed during the 60-day extension of the ceasefire in force since last April.
The US has also pledged to discuss lifting sanctions on Iran and releasing frozen Iranian funds.
A Strait of Hormuz, no toll
Deputy Director of Foreign Policy and International Security of the Secretariat of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Baqeri, said on Wednesday that the Persian country and Oman "are negotiating together a new procedure for the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz," after Tehran has repeatedly stated that both countries must lead these regulations.
Following these statements, the US Administration has declared that it "will not tolerate any attempt to establish a toll system in the Strait of Hormuz," and has threatened to "destroy" Oman if that is done.
