- The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that a proposed US-Iran MoU allows Tehran to immediately resume selling oil and fuel upon signing, with provisions enabling banking, transportation, and insurance services to facilitate transactions.

- Analysts suggest Washington likely conceded oil exports to secure Hormuz access, while the agreement reportedly faces signing in Switzerland on Friday as the Mehr News Agency continues pushing propaganda regarding the unpublished text.
