The Sino-Iranian agreement "Rashomon": How to manage the Strait of Hormuz? Will high enriched uranium be abandoned or not?
The negotiations for a ceasefire between the US and Iran are entering the final stage, with Trump loudly announcing that the agreement is "basically reached" and Pompeo saying that "good news will come in a few hours" - however, both sides are describing the same memorandum in completely opposite ways: the US insists that Iran must hand over 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, while Iran categorically denies that the nuclear issue was ever mentioned. The controversy over the roadmap for reopening the Strait of Hormuz is also ongoing, with hawks in the Republican Party already launching attacks. Is the agreement truly a dawn of peace or just a political show with conflicting messages?
Negotiations between the US and Iran have entered the final sprint stage, but serious information discrepancies have emerged on the most crucial terms. Trump announced that an agreement has "basically been reached," but the US and Iran have conflicting statements on the disposal of high-enriched uranium and control of the Strait of Hormuz, with the true nature of a memo still shrouded in mystery.
According to Xinhua News Agency, Trump stated on social media on the 23rd that the US and Iran have "basically reached" an agreement involving the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, pending final confirmation from both sides and relevant countries. The "details of the final agreement are still under discussion and will be announced soon."
According to CCTV News, one of the core elements of the agreement is that Iran has promised to hand over its high-enriched uranium stockpile; however, Iran immediately strongly denied this, stating that the reports were "completely untrue" and that the current negotiations only focus on stopping hostile actions, with the nuclear issue fundamentally not being discussed. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the timetable described by both sides are also inconsistent.
The Strait of Hormuz has been practically blocked by Iran since the beginning of the war, putting continuous pressure on global energy prices. If the agreement could be finalized, it is hoped that it would partially alleviate supply pressure. However, with deep-seated differences on the nuclear terms and high ambiguity in the details of the agreement, the final shape still faces considerable uncertainty, with hawks in the Republican Party in the US already strongly opposing it.
