WASHINGTON — The White House on Thursday sent Congress the text of a 14-point interim U.S.-Iran agreement aimed at halting hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to a statement from the administration. The move follows weeks of diplomatic negotiations mediated by regional partners.
The agreement, which has not been publicly released in full, reportedly includes provisions for a ceasefire, the resumption of oil shipments through the strategic waterway, and mutual steps to de-escalate military tensions. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, has been partially closed due to recent clashes.
Congressional leaders are expected to review the document in closed sessions before any formal vote. The White House emphasized that the pact is temporary, pending a more comprehensive deal on Iran's nuclear program and regional influence.
No official confirmation of the agreement's details has been provided by Iranian authorities as of this report. The situation remains fluid, with international observers urging caution.
