[Iran Plans to Finalize Draft Agreement Within Three Days, Iran-US Negotiations Enter Textual Stage] ⑴ Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi stated that Iran has decided to draft a possible agreement for discussion and negotiation on the text in the next round of talks. This statement marks the advancement of the Iran-US dialogue from initial communication to textual negotiation. ⑵ Araqchi pointed out that this is a normal procedure in any international negotiation, and both sides have agreed to follow this path. After approval from higher authorities, Iran will send the draft agreement to the United States and plans to finalize its content within the next three days. ⑶ This development comes against the backdrop of escalating tensions between the US and Iran. Previously, Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran, setting a 10-15 day deadline for an agreement on its nuclear program, or face severe consequences. Meanwhile, reports indicate that the US is weighing the possibility of a preliminary limited strike against Iran. ⑷ Iran's proactive move to advance the draft agreement can be seen as a response to US pressure, while also preserving room for diplomatic options. The final content of the draft and the US reaction will be key observation points for judging the direction of the situation. (5) The next three days will be a critical window of opportunity for the US-Iran standoff. If the draft resolution is successfully finalized and formal negotiations begin, tensions may ease temporarily; however, if the draft resolution fails to meet the core demands of both sides, or if the US refuses to accept it, discussions on military options may escalate again.
