## Prediction

Within seven days, the US and Iran are likely to announce at least a partial political understanding that formalizes Iran's commitment in principle to dispose of HEU and extends or clarifies regional ceasefire arrangements, even if a comprehensive MoU on sanctions relief and full Hormuz reopening remains pending. The agreement will likely avoid publicly stating full dismantlement of enrichment but may include verifiable HEU stockpile reductions. Sanctions on Iran's oil exports and the effective blockade will largely remain, with only narrow or reversible waivers.

## Drivers

- Repeated alerts that Iran has agreed in principle to scrap HEU under an emerging framework
- Indications that Iran’s Supreme Leader has approved the framework
- Dispute focused on unfreezing assets rather than on HEU principle itself
