However, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, stated the signing would 'not be tomorrow' but possibly 'in the coming days,' while an Iranian news agency reported no final decision had been made on the agreement. The proposed deal involves Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil artery, in exchange for the U.S. lifting its naval blockade, releasing billions in frozen Iranian assets, and waiving oil export sanctions. Despite movement towards an agreement, clashes persisted, with U.S. forces shooting down Iranian drones and Israel conducting strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to clash with Trump over military action. Hardline protesters in Iran voiced strong opposition to the framework agreement, while negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear programme, including the dismantling of its enriched uranium stockpile, are slated to occur in a subsequent 60-day period.
