Donald Trump has outlined the core elements of a possible peace settlement with Tehran. the proposed arrangement focuses on the cessation of Iran's nuclear program and the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The "nuclear dust" and the 60-day technical window

The proposed peace framework involves a complex process for dismantling Iran's nuclear capabilities. As the report indicates, President Trump has suggested that "nuclear dust"—material buried under mountains following previous U.S. bombings—would be retrieved, downblended, and destroyed to ensure the program is neutralized.

To manage the technicalities of this dismantling, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has proposed a 60-day window to finalize the specific terms. This period would begin once the deal is officially concluded, though both nations maintain the right to extend this deadline if the removal of uranium proves difficult. An anonymous U.S. official told reporters that this two-month timeframe is essential for sorting out the intricate technical details of the process.

The dispute over Strait of Hormuz transit fees

The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz serves as a primary pillar of the potential agreement, but the terms of passage remain a point of contention.. According to the source, Iran has sought a system where commercial ships pay fees for services rendered while transiting the vital waterway.

This demand faces significant opposition from the United States and other international actors. These nations have argued that requiring vessels to pay for passage through the strait would constitute a violation of international law. While the deal suggests the waterway could open quickly upon ratification,it remains unclear if the U.S . will accept any Iranian-imposed conditions on maritime traffic.

The ambiguity of Iranian sanctions and frozen assets

Significant uncertainty persists regarding the financial components of the deal and the future of Iranian economic restrictions. While President Trump has explicitly stated that "no money would exchange hands"—a direct critique of the financial incentives found in the previous Obama-era nuclear agreement—he has not clarified the status of current sanctions.

The report notes that the total value of assets Iran might regain access to, as well as which specific sanctions might be lifted, remains unknown. This lack of clarity leaves a major question for the international community: will the deal provide genuine economic relief to Tehran, or will it remain a purely security-focused arrangement?

Israel's refusal to link the deal to Hezbollah hostilities

The potential peace deal with Iran may not resolve the ongoing regional violence involving Israel and Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. While Tehran has insisted that any peace agreement must include an end to the fighting in Lebanon,the Israeli government has signaled a different path.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has warned that Israel intends to act independently of any deal reached with Iran. Katz indicated that Israel plans to continue its military presence and occupation in key zones across Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria, as well as in the northern refugee camps of the West Bank, regardless of the outcome in Tehran.
