  • US and Iran negotiators have reportedly reached an agreement on a 60-day memorandum of understanding to extend the current ceasefire.
  • The deal requires approval from US President Donald Trump and includes Iranian commitments to not pursue nuclear weapons development.
  • Key provisions involve unrestricted transit through the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of Iranian mines within 30 days, paving the way for further nuclear program negotiations.

An agreement has reportedly been reached between negotiators from the United States and Iran on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to extend the existing ceasefire, according to an Axios report. The deal, however, awaits final approval from US President Donald Trump.

The proposed 60-day MoU aims to initiate a period of negotiations for a comprehensive agreement concerning Iran's nuclear program. Sources cited by Axios indicate that the agreement includes a commitment from Iran not to pursue the development of nuclear weapons. The top priority during the 60-day period will be the removal of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile.

Negotiations reportedly concluded on Tuesday, with representatives from both nations needing senior leadership approval. While Iranian negotiators have secured their approval, Trump has requested additional time to consider the details after being briefed. The terms also stipulate "unrestricted" transit and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, with no tolls or harassment, and require Iran to clear all mines from the strait within 30 days.
