Iran has not yet made a final decision regarding a proposed agreement with the United States aimed at ending the conflict in the Middle East, according to Iranian news agency Fars. The agency, known for its conservative leanings, cited a source close to the Iranian negotiating team. The potential deal has faced resistance from hardliners within Iran who oppose making concessions, particularly concerning control of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the war began. No timeline for a decision was provided. The proposed protocol of agreement remains under consideration by Iranian officials. The delay highlights internal divisions within Iran regarding the path forward in the ongoing conflict. Further negotiations and internal deliberations are expected before a final stance is revealed.
