US and Iran Reach Preliminary Agreement to Extend Ceasefire and Begin Nuclear Talks

US and Iranian negotiators reached a preliminary agreement to extend the ceasefire by 60 days and begin new nuclear talks, though the deal still awaits final approval from both leaders.

According to reports, United States and Iran negotiations representatives have reached preliminary understanding regarding a 60-day ceasefire extension and initiating nuclear negotiations. The proposed agreement's core terms include: reopening Hormuz Strait shipping and lifting United States blockade of Iranian ports. Iran committed to not seeking nuclear weapons development, but the agreement does not address existing enriched uranium stockpile issues. Currently, the agreement awaits final approval by United States President Trump and Iran's supreme leader. Meanwhile, both sides' conflicts continue, with Iranian military recently launching ballistic missiles toward Kuwait. Analysts point out that even if the agreement ultimately is reached, fundamental disagreements on nuclear issues will remain the largest obstacle for subsequent negotiations.
