Iran nuclear 'freeze for freeze' interim framework

A two-phase interim framework proposing Iran cap enrichment at 60% (no further increase, no weaponisation steps) in exchange for partial US/EU sanctions relief — specifically lifting of secondary sanctions on Iranian oil exports to non-Western buyers and unfreezing $6B in South Korean accounts. Explicitly framed as a holding pattern, not a final settlement, with a 12-month sunset.

Key points

  • Iran caps enrichment at 60% — no further increase
  • Iran pauses advanced centrifuge installations
  • US/EU lift secondary sanctions on oil exports to Asia
  • $6B in frozen South Korean accounts unfrozen
  • 12-month sunset; full JCPOA-revival talks resume in parallel
  • No reduction in IAEA monitoring access
