US and Iranian negotiators have reportedly reached a preliminary agreement to extend their ceasefire by 60 days and launch a new round of talks on Iran’s nuclear programme.
US Vice President JD Vance confirmed that a draft agreement exists but said it remains unclear whether President Donald Trump will approve it.
According to reports, the deal would guarantee unrestricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran would be required to remove all mines from the strategic oil passage within 30 days.
The agreement would also reportedly include the lifting of the US naval blockade, while Tehran would commit not to pursue nuclear weapons and give up its stockpile of enriched uranium. Final details are still being negotiated, and no official agreement has yet been signed.
