    Mahr News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Propagation Organization, reported on Friday, June 22, citing a "source close to the Iranian negotiating team," new details about the 14-article draft agreement between Iran and the United States.

    According to this report, Tehran commits to not pursuing the construction of nuclear weapons and, in return, gains certain economic concessions, including the facilitation of oil exports and the consideration of the release of some frozen assets.

    Mahr reported from this official that after the potential signing of this agreement, more comprehensive negotiations will begin for a duration of 60 days, addressing more complex issues such as the level of uranium enrichment, enriched uranium reserves, and the details of lifting sanctions.

    According to this report, the 14 points of the potential agreement between Tehran and Washington include the following:

    1. Immediate and permanent cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon.
    2. The U.S. commitment to not interfere in Iran's internal affairs.
    3. Complete lifting of the maritime blockade within 30 days.
    4. The U.S. commitment to withdraw its forces from around Iran.
    5. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran within 30 days.
    6. Suspension of sanctions on oil sales, petrochemical products, and derivatives, and full access for Iran to its financial resources.
    7. The necessity for the U.S. and its allies to present reconstruction plans for Iran amounting to at least $300 billion.
    8. 60 days of negotiations to reach a final agreement based on nuclear issues and the complete lifting of primary and secondary sanctions, U.S. sanctions, and UN Security Council resolutions and International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors resolutions.
    9. Iran's commitment to continue its membership in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) regarding the non-production of nuclear weapons.
    10. During the negotiations, the U.S. commits not to add to its forces in the region and not to impose new sanctions.
    11. The release of $24 billion of Iran's frozen assets during the 60-day final negotiations, with half of this amount to be made available to Iran before the negotiations begin.
    12. Establishment of a monitoring mechanism to implement the potential agreement.
    13. Approval of the final agreement by a UN Security Council resolution.

    Mahr reported from this "informed source" that in the last clause of the potential agreement, both sides agree that the final negotiations will not begin before the release of half of Iran's frozen assets, the suspension of oil sanctions, and the lifting of the maritime blockade.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, stated on Thursday evening that as soon as the agreement is signed, the maritime blockade will end, and the Strait of Hormuz will reopen.

    According to Mahr, the final agreement will only address the fate of enriched uranium and enrichment, the lifting of sanctions, and the "reconstruction of Iran's economy," while discussions about the missile program and support for proxy groups "have definitively been removed from the agenda."

    According to Politico, shortly after Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced in a message on Thursday morning that he intends to "hit Iran very hard tonight," leaders from Gulf and South Asian countries made last-minute calls to him to change his mind.

    They assured him that a preliminary agreement, which paves the way for more detailed negotiations, is indeed available.

    Politico reported that these previously unreported calls were made by Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the United Arab Emirates, and Asim Munir, the Chief of Defense of Pakistan.

    All three sources spoke to Politico on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the diplomatic matter. Trump then announced on Truth Social that an agreement might be signed in the coming days.

    According to a senior U.S. defense official, commercial shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz was clearly threatened on Thursday night after the Islamic Republic of Iran fired drones at vessels passing through this strategic waterway.

    Fox News reported that the official stated, "It appears that the Islamic Republic attempted to attack commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz tonight. U.S. forces shot down two Iranian one-way attack drones."

    The official noted that despite these attacks, maritime traffic through the strait continues.

    This development came hours after Donald Trump mentioned that an agreement with the Islamic Republic might be signed within days, and the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened as part of this agreement.

    Following the sound of several explosions heard along the southern coast of Iran, the Fars news agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard, reported earlier, citing "local sources" in Bandar Abbas, that Islamic Republic forces did not allow a tanker that had entered the Strait of Hormuz "without coordination" to pass.

These sources added that nuclear negotiations will focus on verification mechanisms, inspection processes, and future restrictions, and discussions will also take place during this period regarding high-concentration enriched uranium.

    Fars News Agency claims:
    Iran did not allow the passage of a violating oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.

    🔹A reporter from Fars in Bandar Abbas has followed up with local sources, indicating that moments ago, Iranian forces did not permit a violating oil tanker, which had entered the strait without coordination, to pass.

    🔹Reports from the public also mention hearing three explosions about two kilometers from the coast of Sirik.

    IRIB:
    A military source confirmed that the sounds of explosions heard in Sirik County were related to the confrontation with a violating vessel that intended to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

    According to this military official, the vessel that was declared a disturbance to maritime order moments ago is an oil tanker that was forced to comply with the navigation prohibition law in the Strait of Hormuz after a warning from the Navy of the IRGC.

    Tasnims claim: America has backed down from its recent amendments!

    The Tasnim news agency, affiliated with the IRGC, has reported:
    As of this moment, the text of the agreement has not received final approval from the relevant authorities in Iran.

    ▪️ Follow-ups by Tasnim's reporter from informed sources indicate that the latest development is that the military and diplomatic pressure from the U.S. to change the 14-article text has not yielded results, and the U.S. has communicated through a Qatari intermediary that there is no need for the recent amendments.

    ▪️ According to these sources, Trump has recently begun applying pressure, threats, and military actions, and through other means, he attempted to change Iran's positions from both sides, but ultimately Iran did not accept the new changes.

    ▪️ However, this text still requires review and finalization by the relevant institutions in Iran, and until then, other speculations and news are not valid.

    🔹Local sources in the Sirik area (Hormozgan province) say that the explosion sound in the sea was heard at a distance of about two kilometers from the shore.

    🔹There is still no precise information about the nature and cause of this explosion, but considering the guidelines regarding the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, this potential situation may be related.

    Ismail Baqaei emphasized that a significant portion of the text of the final agreement has been completed, but due to the contradictory positions of the U.S., there has been turbulence and disruption in reaching an agreement.

    In this interview, the spokesperson said: "Claims about the time and place of the agreement are merely media speculation, and until the relevant authorities of the system reach a final conclusion on each component of the text of the agreement, discussing the form of signing and its location is pointless."

    Mr. Baqaei pointed out that the text of the agreement was already clear to us, but the American side kept raising unreasonable demands, reiterating that Iran will not back down from its principled positions and red lines under pressure and threat.

    In a brief phone call with the New York Post, he stated, "Almost everything is finalized."
    nypost
    CNN, citing an informed source, reported that U.S. officials believe that this week's meetings between Iranian and Qatari officials in Tehran helped clarify some of the remaining ambiguous and key points in the agreement with the United States. These disagreements mainly involve details on how to advance future negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program and the timeline for lifting sanctions and financial openings for Tehran.

    According to the report, Iran sent its latest proposed draft agreement with the U.S. through Qatari mediators earlier this week. This comes after Donald Trump had expressed dissatisfaction with the prolonged response from Iran about two weeks ago, calling for a stricter tone in the nuclear section of the agreement.

    Nevertheless, this week's consultations through Qatar helped narrow the gaps. U.S. officials remained in constant contact with the mediators throughout this period, even during days when Washington and Tehran were engaged in a series of exchanges of fire and military attacks against each other.
