If Trump really agreed to all that (and I don’t believe it) he’d in essence be letting Iran win and even gain ground, such as charging tolls for Harmuz passage. My guess is the US and Iran are both presenting their preferred outcome, not anything actually agreed to, while they play along with Pakistan to get a bit of breathing space before hostilities resume.
