US, Iran near short deal to end hostilities

1-page pact would pause fighting, open 30-day talks on Hormuz access: Axios

The White House believes it is getting close to an agreement with Iran on a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and set a framework for more detailed nuclear talks, US media reported on Wednesday.

The United States expects Iranian responses on several key points in the next 48 hours, Axios reported, citing two US officials and two other sources briefed on the issue.

The report cautioned that nothing has been agreed yet, but said this was the closest the parties had been to an agreement since the war began.
