US and Iran are close to reaching an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian state media reported on May 27 that they had obtained a draft agreement in which the US would end its blockade in exchange for the restoration of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Under this framework agreement, Iran will restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within a month. Meanwhile, the US will withdraw military forces from the area surrounding Iran and lift the blockade on Iranian ports.

Iranian state television IRIB reported that Iran is expected to manage the flow of ships through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with Oman. Under this agreement, military vessels are not permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

However, the document that Iranian media accessed was not the final version.

IRIB also stated that if a final agreement is reached within 60 days, the text could be adopted as a binding resolution, with the additional participation of the United Nations Security Council.

Negotiations between the US and Iran are continuing, with Pakistan acting as a mediator. Both sides are still refining the wording of the draft framework agreement.

The US has not yet commented on the information published by Iranian media. This framework agreement is seen as an important roadmap for advancing future negotiations to address more difficult issues, such as Iran's nuclear program, the release of frozen Iranian assets, or the lifting of sanctions against Tehran.
