A possible agreement between Iran and the United States foresees that the number of ships authorized to transit the Strait of Hormuz would return to pre-war levels within 30 days, according to the Iranian agency Tasnim.
The naval blockade should be completely lifted within 30 days, according to a memorandum of understanding, Tasnim said, adding that part of the frozen Iranian funds should be released in the first phase.
The possible memorandum includes an end to the war on all fronts, with Washington lifting sanctions on Iranian oil during negotiations.
Iran has not yet accepted any measures related to its nuclear program, Tasnim added.
Marco Rubio
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio believes new information about the situation in Iran could emerge this Sunday and reiterated that Tehran "can never have nuclear weapons".
Rubio also declared that attacks against commercial and civilian ships are "totally illegal" and said that there had been some progress in the last 48 hours in discussions to design a solution to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to what was told to Reuters, there is the possibility of "good news" in the coming hours in relation to navigation in the region.
At the same time, Reuters reported that a senior Iranian source said that Tehran has not agreed to hand over its highly enriched uranium and that the issue of Iran's nuclear program is not part of this preliminary agreement under discussion.
