Iran will not be able to collect toll in Hormuz
This 60-day ceasefire deal includes unhindered movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. That means, if the agreement is reached, Iran will not be able to collect toll on ships passing through this important strategic waterway. An American official told Axios that no one will be able to take control of the Strait of Hormuz nor will it be able to intimidate. Along with this, Iran will have to remove all the mines laid in the waterways within 30 days.
The condition of Iran not making nuclear weapons in the deal
Under the deal, America is also ready to relax some sanctions, so that Iran can sell oil. The agreement will also include the condition of Iran not making nuclear weapons. During the ceasefire, both sides will decide how to destroy Tehran’s enriched uranium. Apart from this, releasing the frozen money of Iran is also included in the talks.
