Reports of a near-final US-Iran draft brokered by Pakistan added roughly $500 billion to US equities on May 21. WTI crude oil slid to $96.23, while Bitcoin (BTC) edged higher on ceasefire optimism.
Al Arabiya reported that the leaked draft includes an immediate ceasefire and freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Sanctions on Iran would lift gradually under a joint monitoring mechanism tied to compliance.

The pattern echoes Bitcoin’s April bounce during Trump’s earlier pause on Iran strikes. The Project Freedom oil reaction briefly carried BTC toward $80,000 in a similar setup.

What the Leaked Draft Reportedly IncludesThe Kobeissi Letter and Solid Intel posted matching terms sourced from Iranian state outlet IRNA, citing Al Arabiya.
EXPECTED TERMS IN "FINAL DRAFT" OF US-IRAN AGREEMENT:
1. Immediate and comprehensive ceasefire on all fronts
2. All parties mutually agree to refrain from targeting infrastructure
3. Freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz is guaranteed under a…
The terms cover a full ceasefire and mutual commitments to avoid infrastructure targeting. A joint monitoring mechanism would govern shipping in the Persian Gulf.
Sanctions on Iran would lift gradually as compliance is verified. Talks on outstanding issues are set to begin within seven days. President Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly works to restrain the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Pakistan’s role aligns with reports that army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir traveled to Tehran on May 21. The channel follows inconclusive previous Islamabad talks earlier this spring.

Trump countered that pump prices will fall below pre-conflict levels once the conflict ends.

The setup recalls the oil shock liquidity framing applied to Bitcoin earlier in the conflict. It also echoes the broader Iran ceasefire bitcoin path traced through April and May.
The next signal is whether the announcement lands within the promised window. Until then, the rally rests on a leaked document, not a signed one.
