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