US-Iran War De-escalation: Deal Framework Emerging
The US and Iran are moving toward finalizing a 14-point memorandum to end regional conflict, with Trump pausing the 'Project Freedom' Strait of Hormuz escort operation amid Pakistan-mediated talks. Trump stated bombing would resume if Iran rejects the deal, while Iran's IRGC announced safe transit guarantees pending US threat cessation. Multiple sources indicate a shift toward limited framework agreement on Hormuz before broader nuclear discussions.
