Iran and the United States have received a plan to end hostilities that could come into effect as early as Monday, April 6, and allow shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to resume, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters.
The framework for a cessation of hostilities was prepared by Pakistan and handed over to Iran and the United States on the night of April 5-6. A Reuters interlocutor said that the agreement envisioned a two-tiered approach: an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive treaty.
"All details should be agreed today," the source said, adding that the initial agreements would be formalized in the form of a memorandum of understanding. The parties expect to finalize this document electronically through Pakistan, the only channel of communication in the negotiations, Reuters writes.
