Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that an agreement between Iran and the USA regarding the cessation of the war in the Middle East is close.

Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, stated on Friday that an agreement between Iran and the USA to end the war in the Middle East is closer than ever. He urged the press to avoid speculation regarding the details of the agreement, emphasizing that they will be communicated to the public in due time.

American President Donald Trump challenged the statements of Iranian officials, claiming that they do not reflect reality and that the negotiations are not trustworthy. The draft agreement would provide for a permanent cessation of hostilities and the lifting of American sanctions, including the release of 24 billion dollars of blocked Iranian funds.

There is also discussion about restructuring the Iranian nuclear program, with the aim of preventing the development of a nuclear weapon. An American official stated that Iran has agreed to restructure its nuclear program and eliminate enriched uranium, but the final details remain unclear.
