The Israeli media stated this Tuesday (24) that the special envoys of the United States, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, were trying to facilitate the declaration of a one-month ceasefire to discuss an agreement to end the conflict in the Middle East, in a model similar to that adopted in Gaza and Lebanon. According to the Canal 12from Israel, the package would include severe restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program, in addition to other even stricter conditions.
It is not yet known whether Iran will accept the proposal, but, according to the Israeli outlet, there are 15 points under discussion, as had previously been indicated by Donald Trump. According to the portal Axiosthe United States and a group of regional mediators are discussing the possibility of starting these negotiations on Thursday (26), although they have not yet received a response from Tehran.
Regarding the Iranian nuclear program, the agreement described by Canal 12 envisages the complete dismantling of existing nuclear capabilities, the handover of all enriched uranium to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the decommissioning and destruction of the Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow facilities.

Furthermore, Iran would abandon the strategy of acting via allied groups, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, and would end the financing and arming of militias in the region. The Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, without any blockage. Israeli media also reported that a decision on the ballistic missile program would be “postponed”, with only defensive use expected.
In return, all sanctions against Iran would be lifted, and there would be support for the development of a civilian nuclear program in Bushehr, according to the Canal 12. The agreement would also provide for the automatic cancellation of the threat of reimposition of sanctions by the United States.
Sources heard by Canal 12 stated that the possibility of a quick and vague draft agreement between the US and Iran, while the details are negotiated, leaves Israeli authorities on alert, for fear that Tehran could come out on top. Still, these sources said they doubt the Iranian regime will agree to the terms.
After the news, oil began to register a sharp drop in electronic trading, while future indexes on the New York stock exchanges changed direction and began to rise.
