U.S. and Iran Reach Tentative 60-Day Ceasefire Extension, Await Trump Approval
- On Thursday, U.S. and Iranian negotiators reached a tentative 60-day memorandum of understanding to extend their ceasefire and launch nuclear program talks, pending final approval from President Donald Trump.
- This tentative framework follows weeks of intermittent clashes in the Persian Gulf, mandating unrestricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and requiring Iran to remove all naval mines within 30 days.
- While U.S. officials described terms as finalized, the White House issued a statement calling reports of the memorandum a "complete fabrication," and Tehran has not publicly confirmed the agreement.
- During a Wednesday cabinet meeting, Trump warned that Tehran is "negotiating on fumes," insisting he was "not satisfied" with current proposals before approving the deal.
- Negotiations would prioritize disposal of Iran's enriched uranium, while the proposed deal includes potential sanctions relief and release of frozen funds supporting Tehran's struggling economy.
