US, Iran nearing framework memo to end war, launch nuclear talks, report says

The United States and Iran are nearing a preliminary agreement to end the conflict and set parameters for broader nuclear negotiations, representing the closest approach to an initial deal since the conflict began, according to Axios. The proposed memorandum would declare an end to the war and establish a 30-day negotiation period for a more detailed agreement, including limiting Iran’s nuclear program and easing US sanctions. Iran expressed concerns about the agreement and warned of a strong response if the United States or its allies break the deal.
