An Iran cease-fire deal that appears to be near \u201cfinalization\u201d would reopen the Strait of Hormuz without tolls, end the fight for 60 days and begin tough negotiations on the Islamic Republic\u2019s nuclear program, according to reports.<\/p>\n

President Trump said Saturday that Iran and the US are preparing the final details on \u201ca Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE\u201d \u2014 and that the final details of the agreement are being worked out with Iran and US allies in the region, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

Under the Trump-brokered deal, the Strait would be reopened for the entirety of the 60-day ceasefire, with no tolls. Iran would agree to clear the mines it had deployed in the crucial chokepoint and allow ships to pass freely, reported Axios.<\/p>\n

In return, the US would lift its blockade on Iranian ports and waive some of the sanctions on the Islamic Republic, allowing Tehran to sell oil again.<\/p>\n

US officials told the New York Times and Axios that Iran would also commit to never pursuing nuclear weapons, suspending its uranium enrichment program, and agreeing to the removal of its stockpile of enriched uranium.<\/p>\n

However, Iranian officials told the Times that there was no agreement on Iran\u2019s nuclear program, and that would be the subject of negotiations during the 60-day cease-fire.<\/p>\n

Trump has made eliminating Iran\u2019s nuclear program a key demand of the cease-fire negotiations, and said preventing the Islamic Republic from ever getting a nuclear weapon was the primary reason that the war was worth the cost.<\/p>\n

Both the US and Iran would sign a memorandum of understanding that would last 60 days, but could be extended by mutual consent, according to the official.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

US forces that were mobilized in recent months would remain in the region throughout the 60-day period, and would only withdraw if a final deal is reached, according to the official.<\/p>\n

The draft deal also demands the end of the war between Israel and the Iranian proxy terror group Hezbollah in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

It comes as President Trump said on Saturday that the US was close to reaching an agreement with Iran to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

Earlier, a spokesman for Iran\u2019s foreign ministry said Washington and Tehran were in the \u201cfinal stage\u201d of drafting a deal, and \u201cmay be able to reach a mutually acceptable solution.\u201d<\/p>\n
