Fox News reported on the agreement between Iran and the United States on 95%

The United States and Iran have agreed on a 95% framework agreement, but negotiators continue to discuss language on Tehran's nuclear arsenal and control of the Strait of Hormuz. This was reported on May 24 by the Fox News channel, citing official sources.

"We are not going to give up. We haven't come to an agreement yet. We are not going to sign the agreement today or tomorrow," the TV channel quoted a representative of the US administration as saying.

The representative also clarified that an agreement had been reached on the nuclear arsenal and the Strait of Hormuz, but details of the wording were being discussed. He added that the US administration sees an opportunity to conclude a deal that will reduce costs for Washington, while preventing Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

If it is impossible to reach an agreement, the US representatives reserve the right to resume hostilities.

Why are the parties still far from concluding a full-fledged peace

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on May 24 that the United States is ready for "very serious negotiations" on Iran's nuclear program, provided that Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz. It was noted that neither Washington nor Tehran officially disclosed the details of the agreement, but on Sunday, a U.S. representative announced a preliminary agreement according to which the Strait of Hormuz could be reopened provided that Iran agrees to dispose of its reserves of highly enriched uranium.

On May 24, Trump announced that Washington would continue the naval blockade of Iran until an agreement was signed between the parties. According to the American leader, the negotiation process is developing constructively and in an organized manner, but the American side does not intend to force an agreement.

Tasnim news agency reported on May 24 that Iran does not intend to agree to an inspection of its vessels by the United States after the lifting of the naval blockade. According to him, the draft of a possible memorandum between Iran and the United States does not contain provisions on the inspection or control of Iranian vessels by the American side after the lifting of restrictions.

Trump said on May 23 that the U.S.-Iran deal had been largely agreed upon, and the parties were discussing the final details. The head of the White House added that "in addition to many other elements of the agreement," the Strait of Hormuz will be open to navigation.
