**Reminder; Axios said US and Iran are reportedly getting close to a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and create a framework for more detailed nuclear talks — but nothing has been agreed yet. The draft 14-point MOU, negotiated by Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner with Iranian officials, envisions Iran accepting a 12-15 year moratorium on uranium enrichment, removing its highly enriched uranium (possibly to the US), and easing Strait of Hormuz restrictions. In return, the US would lift sanctions, release frozen funds, and pause its naval blockade during a 30-day negotiation window. However, some U.S. officials remain skeptical that even an initial deal will be reached, citing deep divisions within Iranian leadership that could make consensus difficult.
- TTN Note: The most striking detail of Axios piece is that Iran is reportedly willing to physically remove its highly enriched uranium stockpile from the country — with one source explicitly saying an option under discussion is transferring it directly to the United States — something Tehran has repeatedly and angrily ruled out for years, even after being bombed.
