Washington DC: The United States and Iran could resume negotiations in Islamabad as early as next week under a mediated, one-page 14-point memorandum of understanding intended to frame a month-long negotiating process aimed at ending the West Asia conflict, the Wall Street Journal and associated reports said on May 9, citing people familiar with the matter.

Washington DC: The proposed draft reportedly covers Iran's nuclear programme, tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and possible transfers of highly enriched uranium, while sanctions relief remains a key unresolved issue; President Donald Trump said on Friday his administration expected a response from Iran, and US intelligence told CNN this week that Mojtaba Khamenei is central to Iran's strategy amid questions about his health.
