12:32 — The Guardian reports on the contents of a possible ceasefire agreement between the US, Israel, and Iran. Former US Donald Trump said a “memorandum of understanding” has been “largely negotiated.” Official details remain scant, and individual points could still change.

12:28 — According to a US official who spoke to Axios, the agreement envisages a 60-day truce. During this period, the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, Iran would be allowed to sell its oil freely, and talks on limiting Iran’s nuclear programme would take place.

12:24 — Iran would have to clear mines laid in the strait and not charge fees for ships. In return, the US would lift its blockade of Iranian ports imposed since April 13. Additionally, frozen Iranian assets in foreign accounts would be released.

12:20 — US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that the agreement could achieve a “fully open” Strait of Hormuz “without fees.” Iranian media reported, however, that the strait should remain under Iranian control. Fighting would cease on all fronts, including between Israel and the Lebanese Hezbollah.
