Washington/Tehran: Following US President Donald Trump's announcement this week regarding the possibilities of a deal with Iran, a 4-stage framework for an interim agreement between the two countries has emerged. These talks are allegedly taking place through the mediation of Pakistan, where US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has termed uranium enrichment as the central point. However, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has denied any major breakthrough for now, hinting at a deadlock in the talks. On the other hand, the US House of Representatives has dealt a political blow to President Trump by passing a resolution for the withdrawal of US forces from the war against Iran.
4 Important Stages of the Proposed Agreement:
First Stage (Stabilization of Ceasefire): Termination of direct military operations, preventing new tensions in the region, and including the situation in Lebanon.
Second Stage (Maritime Security): Opening the Strait of Hormuz completely and ensuring the protection of global shipping and energy transit.
Third Stage (Easing of Sanctions): Partial release of Iran's frozen assets, facilitating oil exports, and building economic confidence.
Fourth Stage (Nuclear Program): This is the most complex stage, which includes the level of uranium enrichment, international monitoring, and long-term security guarantees.
