"According to "IRNA", what was agreed now by the two parts does not include agreements in nuclear matters nor the end of American sanctions against Iran. On the contrary, these two topics would be incorporated into a new round of negotiations that would begin within 60 days."
The agreement structure provides for two distinct stages. In the first phase, the memorandum would establish immediate ceasefire and "commitments not to relaunch attacks," plus reopening of the Strait of Hormuz without tolls and ending the US naval blockade. The second phase, initiated after signing, would specifically address "Iran's peaceful nuclear program, the lifting of unilateral US sanctions, and compensation mechanisms" in negotiations limited to 60 days. ?
