•� � Separately, American negotiators reportedly believe Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has agreed “in principle” to a broad framework that would include addressing Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

•� � The administration official said the U.S. is prepared to offer major sanctions relief if Iran makes “significant accommodations” on uranium enrichment, while stressing: “If you have a final deal where the Iranians are enriching, then you don’t have a final deal.”
