Conflicting reports are emerging about negotiations between Iran and the US – Media
Conflicting reports are circulating regarding negotiations between the USA and Iran. This was reported by RIA Novosti.
US and Arab media outlets report that the parties are close to an agreement on a memorandum providing for the lifting of the blockade of Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, as well as extending the truce for 60 days, as reported.
According to Al Hadath sources, the preliminary agreement between Tehran and Washington is called the "Islamabad Declaration." It is noted that the document could be signed soon without a personal meeting between the negotiating groups of the two countries.
It is also stated that a new round of negotiations will take place on June 5.
Meanwhile, Iranian media report that serious disagreements still persist between the two countries.
Citing its sources, the Tasnim agency reports that disputes over the terms of a potential agreement between the US and Iran have not yet been resolved. In particular, it is emphasized that no agreement will be reached unless a portion of Iran's frozen assets is released as early as the first stage.
Tehran has previously noted that commitments regarding the release of assets have been violated, stating that any preliminary agreement must be accompanied by the actual return of at least a portion of these assets.
At the same time, Iran is not confirming that it has made concessions regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The Fars news agency announced that Donald Trump's statements about "restoring the strait to its previous state" do not correspond to reality.
According to the agency, the latest draft agreements exchanged between the parties stipulate that even if a potential agreement is reached, the Strait of Hormuz will remain under Iranian control. It is also noted that Tehran has agreed to restore ship traffic to pre-war levels, but it is emphasized that this does not mean a full return to a "free passage" regime.
