US and Iran Near Agreement to Extend Ceasefire by 60 Days
The United States and Iran are nearing a deal to extend their current ceasefire by 60 days, according to mediators and statements from Donald Trump. The proposed memorandum aims to end the US-Israel war on Iran, with negotiations facilitated by Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir. Key objectives for Tehran include stopping future US attacks and ensuring the withdrawal of US forces from the warzone. Significant hurdles remain, specifically regarding Iran's nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, with Sweden indicating NATO could play a role in the latter. While the US suggests a deal is largely agreed upon, Iranian sources via the Tasnim news agency have accused Washington of obstruction and insisted that all clauses must be fully guaranteed before signing.
