US, Iran agree 60-day ceasefire extension plan, Trump approval pending

The United States (US) and Iran have reached a preliminary agreement to extend their ceasefire for an additional 60 days, according to four sources familiar with the matter cited by Reuters.

The proposed memorandum of understanding has yet to receive the approval of US President Donald Trump, a step required before the arrangement can be formally adopted.

Sources said the framework is intended to sustain the current lull in hostilities and provide an opportunity for further engagement on issues that remain unresolved between the two countries.

One of the main subjects expected to be addressed during the proposed extension is Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium. The issue is likely to feature early in any talks held under the framework if it receives final approval.

The reported understanding marks a diplomatic effort to preserve stability following the latest round of attacks and create conditions for broader discussions on Iran’s nuclear activities.

The White House has not commented on the reports.
