Trump said the United States could collect fees in the Strait of Hormuz if a final Iran deal is not reached within 60 days.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain toll-free for 60 days during the ceasefire period, though the United States could impose charges if negotiations fail.

- While Iran claimed on Saturday to have closed the Hormuz Strait, citing a 'clear breach' of the memorandum, CENTCOM reported that 55 merchant ships transited the waterway without interruption today.
- Follow-Up talks are scheduled to begin in Switzerland on Sunday, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi leading Iran's delegation and Vice President JD Vance attending for the United States.
- The 60-day negotiating period intended to address Iran's nuclear programme faces risks as Israeli military operations in Lebanon continue to threaten the ceasefire memorandum's stability.
