The US and Iran may extend the truce for another 60 days.

The United States and Iran have reached a preliminary agreement to extend the current truce for another 60 days and to begin negotiations on a complete end to the war. This was reported by Al Jazeera in a news report.

 

According to official sources, the agreement still requires final approval from US President Donald Trump. If the memorandum is approved, it could mark a significant political step after several weeks of diplomatic tension between the two countries.

 

According to sources, the memorandum stipulates that for 60 days, ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz will not be restricted, and transit movements will be carried out freely. Iran, in turn, must remove all naval mines placed in the strait area within 30 days.

 

The document also notes Iran's commitment not to attempt to acquire nuclear weapons. During the period the agreement is in effect, additional negotiations are planned regarding the fate of Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpiles and the country's uranium enrichment activities.

 

Furthermore, the memorandum includes a clause on ending the war between Israel and the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon.

 

Earlier, several limited military clashes were observed between the US and Iran in the Persian Gulf region, which had heightened concerns about a potential breach of the truce.
