The proposed accord, details of which were reported by the Saudi-owned broadcaster Al Arabiya, outlines a series of measures aimed at reducing tensions between Washington and Tehran and reinforcing regional stability following months of heightened confrontation.

According to the reported draft, both countries would pledge to abide by international law and the United Nations Charter, underscoring a renewed focus on diplomatic engagement and adherence to established international norms.

A central element of the agreement is the phased easing of U.S. sanctions on Iran. In return, Tehran would be required to fully implement the commitments contained in the accord, Al Arabiya reported.

The draft also includes guarantees for freedom of navigation in the Arabian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of Oman, waterways that are critical to global energy shipments and international trade.
Both sides would further commit to respecting each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and refrain from interference in domestic affairs, according to the reported text.

The agreement contains provisions barring attacks on military, civilian and economic infrastructure, a clause that could help reduce the risk of direct confrontation and disruptions to regional energy markets.
Details regarding Iran’s nuclear programme, a longstanding source of dispute between Tehran and Washington, were not included in the reported draft and remain unclear.

Al Arabiya did not disclose how it obtained the document. Neither U.S. nor Iranian authorities had publicly commented on the reported draft at the time of publication.

The agreement would take effect immediately upon formal announcement by both governments, according to the reported text.

Authorities in Abu Dhabi said emergency teams responded to a fire in an electrical generator located outside the inner perimeter of the Barakah facility in the Al Dhafra Region following the drone strike.

The IAEA said it was closely monitoring developments and remained in continuous contact with UAE authorities, adding that it stood ready to provide assistance if required.

The Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation said radiological safety levels were unaffected and confirmed the plant’s critical systems continued operating normally.

“No injuries were reported, and there was no impact on radiological safety,” the Abu Dhabi Media Office said in a statement, adding that all operational units at the facility remained functional.

Authorities urged the public to rely on official information sources and avoid circulating unverified reports related to the incident.

The Barakah plant, located west of Abu Dhabi near the Saudi border, is the Arab world’s first operational nuclear power facility and plays a central role in the UAE’s strategy to diversify energy sources and reduce carbon emissions.

The incident comes amid heightened regional tensions and increased concerns over the vulnerability of critical energy and infrastructure facilities to drone and missile attacks across the Gulf region.

Neither UAE authorities nor the IAEA immediately identified those responsible for the drone strike.
