A tentative 60-day ceasefire framework has been reached between the United States and Iran, along with plans to launch nuclear negotiations, but the proposal awaits President Donald Trump’s final approval. The framework would allow unrestricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran removing naval mines within 30 days. A U.S. naval blockade would be lifted gradually as commercial shipping resumes. Iran would commit not to pursue a nuclear weapon. Negotiations would cover Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile, sanctions relief, and access to frozen Iranian funds. U.S. officials say negotiators largely finalized the draft memorandum, and Iranian representatives indicated senior approval, though Iran has not publicly confirmed. Trump delayed endorsement to allow time to consider the proposal.
"The United States and Iran have reportedly reached a tentative agreement on a 60-day ceasefire framework and the launch of nuclear negotiations, but the proposed deal is still awaiting President Donald Trump's final approval, according to U.S. officials familiar with the talks."
"Under the proposed deal, first reported by Axios reporter Barak Ravid, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would be unrestricted, with Iran expected to remove naval mines from the waterway within 30 days. A U.S. naval blockade would also be lifted gradually as commercial shipping resumes."
"The agreement would include an Iranian commitment not to pursue a nuclear weapon, while negotiations would begin over Tehran's enriched uranium stockpile, sanctions relief, and access to frozen Iranian funds."
"Trump, however, stopped short of immediately endorsing the agreement after being briefed by negotiators. The president relayed to the mediators that he wants a couple of days to think about it, one U.S. official told the outlet."
