"And unfreeze $12 billion": The points of the Iran-US framework agreement have been announced.

Washington and Tehran are discussing a framework agreement that is said to lead to de-escalation in the Middle East.

This agreement extends the 60-day ceasefire while negotiations on a full peace treaty are underway, The Washington Post reported, citing unnamed but knowledgeable officials.

According to the terms, Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and remove the mines laid there within 30 days of signing, allowing shipping to return to pre-war levels. In return, the United States will lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports. Furthermore, Washington will unfreeze $12 billion of Iranian assets held in Qatar—a strict condition Tehran had imposed for approving the deal.

Iran makes high-level commitment not to seek nuclear weapons weaponsAt the same time, skepticism has already been voiced in the US, as the wording "undertakes not to seek" is more than vague.

Full-fledged negotiations on the nuclear program have been postponed until the next stage. A final comprehensive agreement has not yet been signed.

For the US administration, this effectively means a return to the situation where it all began. Additionally, it means a partial lifting of the anti-Iranian sanctions that have been in place for decades.

Critics in Washington are already calling the deal a defeat, noting that Tehran receives significant financial relief and the opportunity to resume oil exports without making significant immediate concessions on its nuclear program. Meanwhile, optimism surrounding the agreement has already led to lower oil prices and a rise in global stock markets. US President Trump emphasized that the final deal "is not yet fully finalized" and urged caution.

It seems to me that this is not the end. The end will be when the Iranian national team plays its first match in California on June 16 against the New Zealand national team in the USA at the World Cup. That will be the END.

We must wait for an official announcement from Tehran regarding the outcome of any agreement with America; information sources from Washington are not trusted.

US President Trump emphasized that the final deal "is not yet fully agreed upon" and urged not to rush.

All these deals and agreements with Trump aren't worth the paper they're written on... It seems like another manipulation of the oil market to make money...

For three months Russia has been selling its oil, now Iran is entering this market.

Now Iran is entering this market.

Iran did not leave the market despite the blockade, but sales volumes decreased.
Information from the Iranian publication "Tasnim News":

Daily export of 1,4 million barrels of Iranian oil under the American blockade;

According to Eghtesademoaser, the International Energy Agency estimated Iranian oil exports in the fourth month of the current year according to the Gregorian calendar at 1 million 400 thousand barrels per day, which is 410 thousand barrels per day less than the figure for the previous month.

In its report, the international agency emphasizes that, despite the relative decline in exports, oil production in Iran continued during this month, and the process of accumulating oil in onshore and offshore storage facilities continues.

Iran's export potential is much higher, plus exports to India are much closer.

The Zionists will stage a provocation and force Shaggy to begin military action.

Yes, this market has always existed. Just not advertised.

The free ride of inflated oil prices is ending and will soon return to around $60. This means they'll be frying the people with even greater force. Our economic bloc is incapable of anything else—taxes and price increases are all they can handle.

[Cool90]

It's a real victory, come back when it happens, otherwise your victory constantly turns into betrayal

[al3x]

I don't know your language, speak Russian and don't mix it with Russian in the same sentence.

[Cool90]

Pukru doesn't even know capelin, so don't tell us that.

[al3x]

Come to Yoshkar-Ola. We'll show you what kind of "pukry" we are.

[Cool90]

As if there are no punks in Yoshkar-Ola

In Yoshkar-Ola, two Ukrainian residents were detained by Rosgvardia officers with packages of drugs in their pockets.

If you constantly write bad things about Russia and throw things at it, but at the same time your comments show pride in the successful attacks of the PUKRS on civilians, then you are a PUKRS.

[al3x]

Come on, show me where my pride is about successful attacks on civilians? Where did I write that? You're a complete idiot and a liar. And for the fact that these crazy XXXXs have spread all over the country, thank Putin and company.

So, in most media, their regular, trained, numerous, heavily armed army, supplied by dozens of leading countries, is still referred to as militants, terrorists, or armed groups. Things need to be called by their proper names.

You write with pride for the Pukrovs, the murderers of civilians, and you even forbid calling them terrorists.

[al3x]

Where's the pride in this? Except in your fantasies. It's a fact. They're probably considered paupers even in the General Staff, and that's why everything's happening the way it's been for five years now.

[Cool90]

We don't know who they are considered in the General Staff, but in the Ministry of Defense briefings: Three mechanized brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were defeated

And for some reason you forbid calling these bastards who attacked the dormitory in Starobelsk terrorists

[al3x]

I'm not banning anyone from anything. It's just that such formulations sound absurd – militants, gangs, etc. – that's what I was trying to convey. A much more accurate phrase would be "Kyiv regime troops/the Ukrainian army conducting terrorist activities against civilians." That would immediately reveal the nature of the crime and the perpetrators. And in all fairness, the Armed Forces of Ukraine should have been added to the list of extremists and terrorists long ago.

[Cool90]

there are moments where we agree with each other,

[APASUS]

Trump is a man of his word and will easily take back his decision.

[HAM]

To finally cement "Trump's victory," the Persians simply need to demand reparations for the damage caused from the "victors."

[Mathurin Nankap]

Beaucoup sur ce forum affirmait qu'en cas de conflit entre les Usa et l'Iran, ce sera une catastrophe pour les perses. Je disais à l'époque que ce ne serait une mince affaire pour les yankees et à juste titre. Je suis content de constater que cet opinion a pratiquement disparu du forum. Bravo et respect aux perses qui disent ce qu'ils font et font ce qu'ils disent.

[Fitter65]

In the US, skepticism has already been voiced, as the wording “undertakes not to strive” is more than vague.

And when signing agreements with the United States, are you sure that this country, having signed this agreement in the morning, will not withdraw from it in the evening?

[Kmet]

True. And on top of what you said, they could also launch further, massive strikes. This has happened many times—Iran, of course, knows about it. Meanwhile, speculators will make money on the stock exchange again.

[Peter1First]

Ayatollah Khomeini's fatwa banning nuclear weapons is in effect in Iran. It hasn't been rescinded. But on the other hand, why is Iran enriching uranium to 60% when 10% is sufficient for energy production?
