Key points from preliminary draft framework for US-Iran negotiations obtained exclusively by Al Arabiya English:
๐ด Iran could transfer its highly enriched uranium stockpile to an agreed third country or reduce its enrichment level
๐ด The Strait of Hormuz could reopen to international maritime traffic within seven days of an initial understanding
๐ด China could potentially serve as a guarantor of the implementation and sustainability of any agreement
๐ด Direct US-Iran negotiations could be held in Doha instead of Istanbul
๐ด Iranian measures on the nuclear file and maritime security would be matched by clearly defined US measures to ease sanctions, blockades and economic restrictions
๐ด An independent verification mechanism would assess compliance before each subsequent phase of implementation
๐ด Neither side would be required to make substantial concessions without receiving corresponding, independently verifiable commitments
๐ด A dispute-resolution mechanism involving mediators and guarantor parties would address delays or violations to help prevent renewed military escalation
