The US and Iran have been working on laying out secret proposals for implementing the 14 points that were signed this week, including details on how to address the future of Iran’s nuclear program.
Background
According to three US officials familiar with the negotiations, a regional official, and one former US official, these proposals include mutual understanding around the question of whether Iran will be allowed to continue to enrich uranium at any level.
Vice President JD Vance indicated that at least some of what administration officials have been calling “gentleman’s agreements” with Iran that go beyond the memorandum of understanding are written agreements.
However, the sources emphasized that they are far from final, and Iran has not signed any additional documents, raising questions about whether the administration has overstated the commitments it has extracted from Iran.
Next Steps
A 60-day period of technical talks is slated to begin, and the US negotiating team hopes to reach more agreements in the upcoming talks.
White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales said in a statement, “There are discussions on next steps, but there are no finalized agreements beyond the MOU.”
