Iran war live: US, Tehran signal peace deal within reach but not signed yet | US-Israel war on Iran News | Al Jazeera

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a memorandum of understanding with the US is 'never been closer' but not yet signed due to disagreements in the Supreme National Security Council. The deal would include two phases: a ceasefire on all fronts including Lebanon, lifting of the Strait of Hormuz blockade, and unfreezing Iranian assets in the first phase, followed by the nuclear file and sanctions lifting in the second. Pakistan is mediating with cautious optimism, while the US maintains its blockade of Iranian ports and Israel refuses to withdraw from Lebanon, Syria, or Gaza.
