Iran, US finalize draft deal for temporary oil sanctions relief: Iranian negotiator

An Iranian negotiator announced that Tehran and Washington have finalized a draft agreement for temporary relief from oil sanctions. According to Hussein Ghorbanzadeh, the broader provisions of the US-Iran understanding “will not enter into force” without a final end to the war in Lebanon. The statement suggests the two countries are moving toward a limited, conditional deal. However, Ghorbanzadeh stressed that the full scope of the agreement remains linked to progress on a separate conflict. No further details on the draft’s terms or timeline were provided.
