Iranian politician Nabavian raised concerns about the US-Iran draft agreement's timeline, arguing that the clause permitting unlimited extensions of the 60-day negotiation period creates ambiguity that benefits the United States, according to a single source close to Iranian politics.
Iranian politician and Deputy Chairman of the Parliament's National Security Committee, Hossein Nabavian, criticized the timeline structure of the draft US-Iran agreement, focusing on Clause 3 onward. In remarks attributed to him by a channel close to Iranian politics, Nabavian stated that the draft allows negotiations to reach a final agreement within 60 days, with extensions permitted indefinitely by both sides — creating what he called 'ambiguity.' He noted that Clause 4 stipulates US forces must leave the region around Iran within 30 days after the final agreement is reached. Nabavian argued that if the final agreement can be repeatedly delayed, the US withdrawal also becomes delayed and unclear, and said Iran should have demanded a precise, fixed timeline.
As The Zioneer reported from earlier today, Nabavian also objected to a separate clause in the draft that places the US and Iran on equal footing regarding sovereignty. The twin critiques highlight continued internal Iranian opposition to the emerging text, even as U.S. warnings about the approaching 60-day deadline have intensified. The Trump administration has set a 60-day target for a memorandum of understanding, though Iran has suggested this window may be extended. Nabavian’s latest remarks are attributed to a single source and await independent corroboration.
